Best place to get Tubs/Rack System?
I am looking into getting a ruck system so that I can keep multiple snakes and eventually breed them. I know everyone has their preferences, but I wanted to hear from the community:
What is the best kind of tub/rack and where is the best place to get it?
Keep in mind size, price, heating abilities, etc.
Would it be possible to just build one or is there much more involved that would make buying one much better?
Thanks!

Re: Best place to get Tubs/Rack System?
depends on your budget. i would say freedom breeder is the best if you have the money. but i would say the the vision racks are the best if you cant afford freedom breeders. if your good at building then i would just make one its cheaper and more gratifying.

I built mine when I first got started with the hobby. I am still using the first rack I built, but my Christmas present this year is a premade replacement for it.
I think I built mine for about $50 with the flexwatt, tubs, and everything. Here is the one I built about halfway through the process, I don't have any good pics of it completed.

This is my juvi rack from Reptile basics, I'm getting a 16 tub hatchling rack like this one for xmas.

Reptile basics inc, Animal Plastics, Boaphile plastics are also great places to start looking.
