DIY Rat Rack
Here's my whole DIY thread with pics and cut specs and prices near the end. I think it was total about $80 for a 6 bin rack. I built two of them and have the parts to build another once I'm done painting my houses exterior.

For one of those large bin racks, how much is the total animal upkeep? Or at least for a 4 bin rack?
Thanks

I could not agree with you more... I always say that one of the best things about keeping snakes was `discovering` rats.
Sweet, socialable and interesting animals. I loved keeping rats as a hobby (I stopped feeding live because of it).
Deathly allergic to the little rotters unfortunately, and after several ER visits for a comprised respitory system I had to abandom keeping them. My last two hairless passed about 8 months back.
Really nice looking colony you have and some very sweet looking babes. Love the diverscity of what one female can throw in a litter.

Thanks for the kind words Bruce! I think I might be allergic to them myself. I've had the worst summer of allergies since I started keeping them. I'm hoping the cooler weather helps a bit. At this point the only days I don't have some sinus congestion are the days where it is cool, humid, or raining.
Regards,
