Hi there! I am just starting to build up my collection of BP's ... about to purchase 2 more now which will make a total of 4 ball pythons for me! I live in a small one bedroom apartment and the tanks are taking a lot of room... and since I want to keep getting more and eventually breeding I want to move to a rack system or tubs.
For adult size ball pythons what size sterilite containers do you (bp afficionados) use?
I would like to avoid buying or building an actual RACK but am interested in possibly stacking sterilite containers on a shelf... but I have no idea how I would do the heating etc. which is why I want your input!!

I do not treat my snakes as breeders, but rather as pets (I name them, take them out frequently and play with them) that's why I am having a hard time with the thought of moving them to a tub... I feel like they will be so unhappy and bored (my snakes like to roam around their tanks at night and climb on the branches etc)... anyone else have the same feelings about this as me?

Anyway so if I get a bunch of sterilite tubs to put on a shelf (I have one of those metal ones similar to this:


how would I do the heating, ventilation (hole drilling- how many, where, how big) etc.

Also how do you guys measure the temperature/humidity in sterilite containers?

Any/all advice is much appreciated!! Thanks.
