    Rack Systems or pvc enclosures

    Greetings all. So a few months ago I built habitats for my ball pythons and have to say I seriously dislike them. Im debating on switching to using either a rack system or pvc housing like the T8 as an example. I was hoping for some pros/cons for each. Thank you for your time.

    Are you looking for something to display the snakes in? Or just something to house a bunch of them successfully?
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    For me, I like to display my snakes. However, my plans are to stop at 3. Is that possible?

    If I were to get into much more , the rack system sure is slick! Saves a ton of space or makes room for more, however you want to look at it.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    It really does depend on you. I personally display all my snakes but I only have 6. After a certain amount, racks become a convenience thing. So if you think you will have a small amount, I'd go the PVC route.
