everything i have is kinda thrown together on wat was cheaper ATM. would i like to get an AP rack, yes, is it really necessary over what i have, not really. everyones set up is unique and if they were all the same then that would be kinda boring and there wouldnt be a million threads and posts on the subject, which oddly keeps everyone entertained every time it comes up. the breeder who told you you were a bad snake owner is either a jerk or jealous because he spent way more on something prebuilt instead of being smart and economical by building his own. snakes happy = good set up.
