I just got my new rack from Boaphile! WOO HOO!!

Do you know what that means?!?!?! Yes, my new babies can be shipped!! I got it yesterday, but have been crazy busy with kid related stuff. ACK! I've got it up and running and have moved my two girls over. Once the whole thing is full I'll take a couple more pics. Anyway here's my lovely rack fresh out of the box. Enjoy.

The new rack looks great! What new babies are going in there?

I've a pastel male that 50% het hypo, and then I have a het caramel pair coming. I love the caramels, they're my favorite. I should get my new guys next Wednesday . I can't wait!! I'll definitely be posting some pics of them when they arrive.

What model # is the rack?

Sweet rack!! Granted I wanted some pictures to go along with the heavy breathing I heard while you pushed it up the stairs right after you got it WITH the phone attached to your ear so you could tell me how cool it was!


All kidding aside, it looks awesome and if I plan ahead accordingly I may go in for the 5 - 10 week wait just to get one! Good luck stablizing those temps and take notes so I can do it in a snap when/if I get mine!!

Luv ya!!!

Can I ask ya when you ordered it? I ordered mine on the 7th of Oct, and still have yet to get any kind of email update or anything on its progress. Jeff isn't too great at the whole customer service thing once he has the dough. Before the purchase, he was more than willing to return phone calls and emails, but now that I've paid for it, I haven't gotten a return email or message I've left him on his voicemail. I'm getting a little anxious!

Oh nice Christie! Glad it finally got there! Was it ready to go (assembled, heat installed, etc) or did you have to do any of that?

Bet you are excited to be getting your new snakes!

I ordered from Boaphile cause the only thing I had to do was get it out of the box and plug it in. I didn't have to mess with heat or anything. One long piece of heat tape is weaved through the racks and it's nice and solid. A little heavy considering I lugged the silly thing upstairs (with the sister on the phone in case I might have fallen and can't get up - she was to dial 911 LOL!). I'm sorry about the heavy breathing, but I wanted to get it plugged in and going. I'm so sad.

Here's a link to the actual one I got. Boaphile rack I ordered my Sept. 9th, so I wouldn't be looking for yours for awhile. He told me upfront it would be 5 weeks, but I kinda expected it to be longer. I didn't really start calling and harassing him until week 6. He never really returned any emails which is why I resorted to phone calls. He was very nice, but the wait is a bit long. I love the rack so everything ends well for me.

I wasn't sure WHAT I would be looking at in this one, Tigerlily! That does look like a nice rack you have there. I have pretty much the same thing from a different vendor. I got mine from Jason's Jungle and it uses the 32 qt Sterilites. Main reason for my choice is 'cause I could meet him at the show in Fort Wayne and just take it right home. It's only a two hour drive for me and with my 40 mpg Swift, I figured it was well worth the time and gas. (plus I already had snakes co-habitating and had to get that corrected before any of you found out!) THe only thing I would change about it, is that it has back heat, not belly heat. For the short tubs its fine, but I would rather heat one end of the long one, versus the whole side.

Yeah I've thought about taking pics with me to the local Christmas parties and asking ... Would you like to see some pictures of my rack? Just for fun. Sometimes I'm just a little warped. LOL! (ok I'm usually a lot warped but that's another thread) I'm going to use this rack for my snakes until they get a bit bigger and then convert it into a hatchling rack. I've got the dividers, so I'm all set. Now if only I could start with the making of babies!! I'm so glad I can have this conversation, without people freaking out. Only here though. Of course I've still yet to find the place to have a conversation about rehabiliating beavers. (That's at a wildlife sanctuary, nothing perverted you sickos! )
