    first DIY rack!

    This is our first attempt at a rack and it appears to be working wonderfully!
    has 4 32 qt tubs, 6 in heat tap in the back, thermostat keeping temps at 93 and oil heated space heater keeping room temps at a bout 78. love this set up! So easy to clease and access snakes!!!
    was very easy to build and we had all pieces cut at Home Depot, only cost about $45 for wood, $35 for heat tape and $30 for tubs.

    first DIY rack!

    Ya it was super easy, there are already things I would change if I make another one but for now it works and everyone is happy, eating, shedding, and in the best care I can provide!

    This is us putting it together. It is upside down in this pic and we are using the bins and a magazine to measure for the next shelf. Soooo easy.
