    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...

    Re: Snake Rack Advice?

    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?

    Re: Snake Rack Advice?

    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!
