fire safe homemade rack??

[snake lab]

lol i would if i had that kind of money but i'd prefer to use what money i do have on the snakes, not the setup. i am trying to do this for purely financial reasons.

Wrong attitude. Husbandry first ,snake second. Particle board sucks for racks and humidity. Your overthinking trying to make a fire proof rack. Unless you buy a freedom breeder or another metal rack but your tubs will still melt therefore killing your snakes. My best advise is bot to have a fire. Make sure your setup is perfect, your electrical is right and put a snoke detector over the rack. We can learn alot from the pro exotics fire. From what i heard the thought was that the racks were back to back and cause an issue there. Dont know if this is the cause but thats what i heard. Fires are always in the back of my mind but i am very proactive. Im always checkin connections and making sure all heat tape is clear of anything that can spark a fire even though the tape itself doesnt get hot enough to start a fire. Arcing at the connections is where alot of fires start. I have 4 smoke detectors in each snake room so i can know if i have any smoke. I also have fire extinguishers in both rooms as well just in case. It may sound overkill but its worth it to me.
