    Freedom Breeders is a really good company...from what I've heard they are one of the best and well worth the money...

    I own a rack from ReptileBasics.com...Rich is just wonderful to do business with and I am currently paying for 2 more racks from him. I also built my own rack...which is not as hard as it may seem. Good luck!

    I personally prefer to construct my own racks. It's usually much cheaper, and just makes me feel better knowing I made it, I know how to control it, etc.

    If I could afford to I'd be neck deep in ARS or freedom breeder racks. But as it stands I'll spend 200.00 building a rack and the other 800.00 on the snakes to fill it with..

    I plan on spending around $100 per adult-bp-sized-tub in any rack system.

    If you're not substantially over that, it's not a bad business decision to go with whoever has the best product for you.

    I have a Boaphile 'ball room' rack, and I love it, it's a great 4-tier rack.

    Freedom breeder and ARS racks are loved by commercial breeders.
