    Question- If I were to home make a stand, could I turn the tanks on its side, so the front/lid is facing front? Would that be alright to do?

    would u be tipping it to make it taller? ive seen peeps do this but keep in mind that this changes the weight distribution of the tank. like it might be top heavy, so u gotta really secure the base to make sure it won't tip over. also U gotta really secure the lid so it won't fall off.

    are u building a multilevel rack? or just 1 enclosure. i would use heat tape for a rack and heat mat for a single tank or enclosure. u can buy it prewired or wire I yourself. Reptile Basics and Bean Farm are some good retailers for this. u won't need plexiglass if u intend to use a tub on the rack. just place the tub on top of the heat tape.

    It'd be flat on the side like this(I used a ten gallon I keep in handy as an example) My only problem would be lighting(Since I use that especially for the heat)

    Depends, it gets pretty hot and humid here sometimes in the spring/summer nights, sometimes in the fall too. Typically I used the black/night lightbulb. I've been too afraid to use the heat mats, especially since I don't have a thermostat and use paper towels as substrate(for the moment)

    Racks... racks... racks... everything from 6-qt hatchling through a home-build that takes 54-qt under-bed tubs for boas up to 6'.

    Stacks - T8, Monster, and Boamasters from three through eight feet.

    Do you have to add a hide for them? Like one in the cooler side and one in the warmer side? And how big of tubs are you using for your ball pythons?
