Snake Rack Advice?
Hey, I have a couple questions about racks I was hoping to get some advice on!
I've settled into my new apartment now, and I think I have a good spot for a small rack. My room is small, but I have an area that measures 24"x36" (WxL) between my dresser and the wall, close to an outlet, and currently housing an old lamp left here by the last tenant that I am not particularly friends with. And I, after spending so much time on this site and waiting for the day I can own snakes, instantly think "Hey, what a great spot for a rack!"
Do you have any suggestions for a good rack system that would be able to house ball pythons and/or small to med colubrids? Preferably smaller in width and length than the size I mentioned above, since I would want to be able to reach around and behind it for maintenance. And is there anyone in the greater Toronto area who makes snake racks?
And as a quick add-on question, are racks generally sturdy enough to have a small terrarium on top (something for cresties)? Because optimizing space is awesome.

If You want house balls and medium colubrids You Cant go wrong with :http://www.reptilebasics.com/iris-sw...y-or-back-heat
They describe that This Rack is enough to House balls up to 2000g what I thing is little to much but up t0o 1600-1800 g should be fine... I'm currently house 1150g male and 960g female balls in it and they have more than plenty of room.. I dont Know That Rich Ship internationally (You definitely should contact him) but He is on Every White Plains Show in NY state.. from Toronto is around 500 miles drive...

The reptile basics rack looks nice, but I cannot find any info about shipping to Canada anywhere on the website. I know shipping from the states to here can be quite expensive (I do not have a car a thus cannot drive to the states). Is there anyone who builds racks in Canada?

Oh cool, the only expo I was aware of was the reptile breeders expo in Sept.
Says on the website that this expo is on May 29th. That's coming up pretty quick! I may have to take the go train out there for a look-see. Heck, I may even make it a weekend trip!
