    Advice For A New Cage

    I am currently searching for a new cage for my one, and only ball python snake. I would eventually like to add more to my collection. I am seeking advice of fellow reptile owners reconmendations, for ball python enclourses. My house gets farily cold, and the more space I could save would be the best!

    I was also thinking of a rack system. I am looking for all the advive needed. Like which racks are escape proof, good thermostats, affordable, etc.

    My snakes are not in a rack set up so I'm not the right person to give that advice but there's TONS of threads on how to make racks and who makes good racks. Just do some searching on here and check out the caging forum.

    Thanks for your advice! Are your snakes in tubs? If so can you give me advice, if I decided to go that route?

    If you are looking to expand your collection, and will be buying/building a rack, go ahead and use sterlite tubs for now.

    Re: Advice For A New Cage

    x2 ^^ I just switched from tanks to tubs, If you have fluctuating temps in your house/apt a closed rack can work great. Check out the Boaphile and Reptile Basics (RBI) racks to get ideas (if you want to build it yourself) or prices if you want to buy one! Also check out the DIY forum
