New Furniture Grade Rack

[distaff]

As i mentioned above this was cleaning day and I had just added the water to bump the humidity as my house is really dry at 40% right now. It looks worse than it is and the water was dried 15 min later. The paper is by no means soaked lol and the humidity is sitting between 50-60% around all areas according to my accurites.

Just checking.

My temps are great... Still do a lot for humidity but it's a whole house issue... I'm a computer guy so I like the theory of a heat sync so I added some aluminum take to the tub bottoms



This is how I add craft paper... This allows them to burrow underneath if they want to hide as I don't have hides in the tubs

The tape as a heatsink... very clever. I like that and from one Computer geek to another well done sir

Can I ask what size/type work best?? I'm at the store, found some really good locking ones, 7.2 qts, 14 inches depth... Would that work, and at what weight(snake gram weight) would I need to upgrade?

roughly it's measured in quarts:
6 quart = hatchlings
15 quart = juvenile/small adults (i think that's the size he's using, i have the same tubs with purple locking latches)
32 quarts = adult
40-plus quarts = big adults/breeding

the 7.2 quart tubs you're looking at sounds good for the first few months if u have a hatchling.

Thank you! Screenshotted that for future reference.
Would target or walmart sell the purple locking ones? Fred Meyer has 15qt nice looking ones, but absolutely no lids for them... Might end up going to home depot for everything, think they'd have them there?

I just went straight to 15quarts even for my 55g animals and they have been just fine

they're made by Sterilite and i got them at Target. also FYI, these particular ones have clear lids. since u are looking tubs with locking latches, i think u would use them so this fact might be important. some other tubs have solid color/non-transparent lids. it depends if u want light to shine through the lids or not.

Also something I've always thought about... How is humidity held in racks? And the best substrate for them, paper towels vs the bark stuff(not home atm and don't know what it's called exactly)? I thought I'd use paper towels because I see people use them often in racks
