First Ball Python PVC or Rack system?

[Robbie82]

If you have a few showstoppers or just snakes you love and have money to spend, getting APs isn't a terrible plan. That being said they are super expensive compared to a rack system. Even the thermostat is more expensive because you need more than a 1 prong herpstat for more than one snake. If you plan on breeding or want to save money for sure go with rack. I found a 3 adult snake rack for 300 with heat which is about price of one ap cage with heat and locks on the doors

Okay that helps. I didn't know about the difference in thermostats so that would make things a lot more expensive later on. I was thinking if I did eventually want a cage I could get the rack first and then once the snake grew a little larger and I had others to fill in the rack, I could just put my favorite one in a cage. Just an idea, but saving on the thermostat and space by getting a rack sounds like a more practical option right now. Been studying things over for years now and I can finally get one so I want to have the best set up I can so I can start the hobby (: I have also heard once you get one, it is hard not to get another haha!

What I plan on doing when I get a little more money is buying an ap for my very first bp because of the sentimental value he is to me and getting racks for the rest. Maybe you can do that too? Start of with racks then upgrade when you feel like it.
