I use Herpstat 4's. I have 7 snakes an 2 lizards.

I use PVC cages so each cage gets it's own Channel on a Herpstat 4.

For a rack

I would get the Herpstat 1.

I would get flexwatt prewired from reptile basics

32 quart tubs will be fine for now, if any of your snakes get really big you might need 41 quart tubs.

Read over the details and see if it is right for you. It surprisingly has a lot of features that the larger units have, with the exception of less wattage.
The Herpstat intro isn't the best choice for a rack. They are geared towards incubators.
