Just ordered the RBI, hides, a scale, and a Herpstat 2.....woohoo....

Good choice.
Personally, I like the RBI racks more than the AP ones. RBI has great customer service too.

As for finding IRIS tubs, you can get them at craft stores (Michaels/Joanns), the Container Store, and even places like Home Depot.

Home Depot has them for a decent price. I haven't looked for larger tubs, but for hatchling size tubs, it's like 12/$10 or something.

Cool. Ill have to check home depot. Cool thing about the RBI is that it comes with tubs. I did call them with a few questions and the service was great.

Hey Guys and Gals!'

Just reading about all this and having trouble making my final choice. I was originally going to go with boaphiles RhinoRaxx with 8 new rubbermaid 15 qts. But, after reading all the negative things about customer service and lead times, I'm considering going with AP or RBI.

I currently have 3 BP's 2 250 grams and a 650 gram. I also have 3 more BP's on hold all about 200 grams.



I'm deciding between the Iris MCB-S with 8 12.2 qt tubs for $289

or the AP 375 3-7 shelves high $180-$315 then the Iris shoe and boot boxes not sure on exact qt's but they are $4 and $10 a pop on thecontainerstore.com

I'm leaning toward the AP 375 on this one as long as the show and boot boxes could hold my guys comfortably for a year or 2 and i could custimize it more as needed.



Then an Iris Sweaterbox with 4 32 qt tubs for breeding for $299

Or the AP CB-70 with 3-4 shelves $195-$260 then $16 per tub from reptiletubs.com

Also leaning toward the AP no this because I have dealt with them before and make a great product from what I have seen so far. I have 2 T-8s. And, it is only $2-40 more

I'm just wanting some thoughts from you guys on how these set ups compare and what would be best for my size snakes. Then breeding a year or 2 down the road.

Thanks

I think that AP's build quality and design is slightly better than RBI's is... But they are very close.

The CB-70 would be better for breeding.

Thx, any chance you know what size those tubs are and how they can be arranged in the shelves on the AP 375 compared to the MCB-S.

And if the boot size boxes would be big enough for some additions down the road and holding 1000g+ snakes?


EDIT: JUST DID THE MATH SHOE BOX IS ABOUT 12 QTS AND BOOT IS ~15. I THINK I JUST ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTIONS
