    Lightbulb What type of set up do you have?

    As the title says, what type of terrarium set up do you have? Pictures would be a nice help!
    I'm very curious as to what other people use, and if you have a custom built terrarium, etc. It would probably give me better ideas for my set ups too!
    Please share!

    Tubs in a rack. I have too many animals for anything else to work.

    I have a home made rack at the moment. But i really want to switch to plastic vivs stacked. Only problem is the cost. If I could get ap cages here then it would be a lot cheaper but the ones I've been looking at in the UK for what I want are £450 each. 2 snakrs per vivs as they have dividers in the middle. 12 snakes = 6 vivs = £2700 which is about $3, 900 if I'm not mistaken.

    Yeah, I want to custom make something like a ap cages, or maybe like vivs, or just build a sturdy stand for my tanks, but I don't want something too high due to harder for me to clean and currently I'm in a room with a very low ceiling, and on top of the money towards making or buying one.
    Also if I have cages custom built like that, I don't know how I'd use or where to put the lamps.

    Fiyero's home


    and a homemade lid-on-tub rack i made:


    i have another Animal Plastics rack also and a Boaphile hatchling rack that's not in use right now. i plan on getting another rack and one of those new D8's.


    Edit: OMG my rack used to be so empty. lol!

    Looks like a nice rack! I may just be stupid on this, but what's a D8 exactly?

    it's what i playfully call a PVC enclosure made by one of our fellow forumers - AKA Dave. it's a play on the T8 name.

    he makes these in various sizes:




    Edit: my homemade rack is nice and sturdy and most importantly, it works! i would make it differently if i had to do it over tho.

    Does he still make them? I like them a bit more than the t8..just in the way the glass opens.
