If you plan on using the rack to house the new snake, telling us the size of the tubs will get you better suggestions. Not a whole lot of larger stuff is suitable for this type of housing system though. The exception is the animal plastic VE175 unit which uses the large christmas tree storage bins - those things can house some pretty large serpents!

Re: What species comes after ball pythons
The tub size is 41 qt but I could always move up if needed. I want to put that rack to good use for AT LEAST a year before having to size up, so preferably a species that doesn't grow super fast. A SD retic might be a good choice for me, I think

I like the idea of a sd retic.

I have read nothing but good about womas as pets and breeders. Large but manageable, active and strong feeders but typically docile, exotic looking and fairly rare yet hardy and adaptable.
When we begin to expand our program we plan on adding them to the family.

You'll probably have to move up sooner than you think. 41 qts aren't really that big and retics are active snakes. Even a pure SD male will eventually need something along the lines of a 4x2x2 or larger. A lot of your options for larger snakes really do best with a bit of vertical space and room to climb and move, even as juveniles, so a rack is pretty limiting.

My SD male is in a 48"x30"x18" Boamaster and he uses all of the space. He is very active. If I absolutely had to put him in a tub long-term it would be either a 74-qt under-bed tub or a VE-175 Christmas tree storage tub.

A super Dwarf retic would be a really sweet snake.
I personally would get jag carpet python though if I were to do another species.
