As Deborah pointed out, the V-35s is limited in size and shouldn't be used for large females. I have a 950g male in a V-35s and he fits perfectly. I wanted a rack for upcoming hatchlings (hopefully) but didn't want to spend 500+. With the xPVC, tubs, heat tape, and screws I spent around $250.

I can not seem to find any local dealer for the xpvc which means I would need to use melamine. Not sure at this point whether I am wanting to create my own vs buying something. I had planned on building something but with the cheaper prices of the smaller racks it is starting to blur the lines of price vs cost savings.

At this present time I am only going to be picking up a few hatchlings BPs to start out my collection again. So the smaller tubs like the V18 and V35 short tubs are not going to be an issue for the immediate time. But I am trying to think towards the future and being able to keep them in larger tabs. But I also keep and breed leopard geckos so I need something that can accommodate both species. I may have to just have two racks, one for smaller/juvenile BPs/Leos and one for my breeder females. At this point I am not sure what is or will be the most efficient setup for now.

Thanks to everyone for their input and ideas.
