    Question help on choosing a rack

    I'm starting to look into getting a rack for breeder BP's. I'm looking mostly at Animal plastics racks and a little bit into reptile basics' racks. Is it worth the money to get the fully enclosed rack or is the economical one good enough. Also how many levels would you suggest to get? I'm planning on a small project only keeping at most 6 breeders but most likely just 4. I understand it really depends on clutch sizes but what are your suggestions. I am also planning on getting either a herpstat2 or the ve300-2 for a thermostat.

    My house is usually kept between 74-82 depending on outside temps.

    Thanks for your help!

    Check out C - Serpents racks. They make a quality product.

    The AP economy line is fine so long the tubs are 32 quarts and under, for anything 41 quarts the economy racks are very wobbly, I would suggest C-Serpents ones instead, the one that are not enclosed are much more sturdy.

    Now should you get enclosed or not it depends on your room, also keep in mind that enclosed rack provide added security which with a species like BP is something to consider.

    Just bought a Reptile Basics Iris CB-70 rack. The bins are massive and my BP's LOVE IT. My pied has had super-awful sheds since we got her in the fall, and she just had her first complete shed today! Quick ship, reasonable price, very helpful guys! Cannot recommend them enough.
