Racks?

[Lolo76]

Ohhhh!

Well, its very easy and I can help you out if you need. The only thing you really need to "learn" is wiring heat tape, which is cake. There are videos as well on youtube.

You don't even have to do that, if you purchase the strips pre-wired from RBI - they do it for free if you buy the $5 wire/clip kit. http://www.reptilebasics.com/flexwatt-heat-tape/

Whether you build or buy a rack, you'll still have to connect the heat tape to a thermostat yourself... so if that's all you're worried about, it won't make a difference either way! It's easy anyway, since all you have to do is tape the probe to a heat strip, plug the flexwatt into the thermostat, and set the temps.

Personally I like pre-built racks, since I'm not the handiest person, and my friend who said he'd build one still hasn't - months later. Sick of flaky people, and at least I know a professional one is well made. I have two Boaphile racks I bought used, one with back-heat for 30qt tubs & the "Ballroom" style with belly-heat for 41qt tubs. They're both really nice racks, but kinda pricey if you buy them new (plus shipping).

If I were to buy one brand new, I'd probably go with the AP Economy rack: http://www.animalplastics.com/
