Sterilite rack?
Alright, so here's the deal. I have my bp's in bins, but right now I do not have a rack to put the bins in. I'm getting another snake (or two.. ) by the end of the summer, and need a rack before I trip over a stack of plastic boxes.
I'm also incompetent when it comes to building things, even with detailed and easy instructions, so I figured I'd nab one from animal plastics. I've been looking at the sterilite juvi/adult 4/8 bin economy rack because I keep telling myself I'll never have more than than 4 snakes... ... and it's what's most appropriate for now.
I just wanted opinions about that rack from the people who've bought or know animalplastics before I toss the money at it. I also wanted to know if these types of bins would be okay for carpet pythons. They've caught my snake mongering eye, and I just want to make sure they wouldn't be able to escape something like that because I know they're a slimmer bodied snake.
Sorry if this is in the wrong category... wasn't sure where to put it

Re: Sterilite rack?
I think any of Animal Plastics, Reptile Basics and Boaphile are all good choises.
The one thing I REALLY recomend is to get a rack that has at least 2 more slots than you have snakes. I used to say I would only get 4 snakes MAX. Well I'm up to 5 BPs and 2 baby Boas in the way...
I LOVE my 32qt x4 tub RBI rack. But I do regret not buying a rack with more tub space. I also regret not getting the 41qt tub version instead.
I know Boaphile has a nice 41qt 4x tub rack. RBI makes a much cheaper (as in price) 3x tub version. I dont know much about Animal Plastics.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the racks from RBI and Boaphile can be stack on top of each other (of the same type) for expansion.

Re: Sterilite rack?
the ones from rbi i believe are cheaper because they come without the tubs. they come out to be more then the boaphile when you add the tubs(i may be wrong). i would go with the boaphile if your gonna get a rack.
this is the one i picked up

this is the list of what they have

they have racks with both sterilite and rubbermaid. and jeff is an awesome guy to deal with when it comes to customer service. he accidently sent me the 5 rack instead of the 6 and had it picked up the next day sent me the other in a few days. no bull from him!
