wow cody that is a beautiful setup. What size container is that and is it part of a rack?

Thanks. It's a 39 x 20 x 7 inch sterilite underbed storage tub. It's not part of a rack, but will be in time, as I plan on making myself a breeding rack and a hatchling rack over the winter sometime now that I've found some decent plans for a rack that I like online.

What a pretty setup, but isn't it the pits cleaning and sanitizing all the plants and vines????

Haha, yeah sometimes it's the last thing you wanna do is pull out everything and soak it and clean it and stuff, then re-arrange everything, but when I look at the cages it's all worth it. I don't like looking at a bare cage, and he's still tiny in such a big cage so the more filler the better.

Hey cody where did you buy the tub and do you use a heat lamp and if do how do you?

I bought the tub from Walmart. It's a sterilite model #1995 underbed storage tub with wheels(which I popped off so it wouldn't roll off the table, lol). Yep, I use heat lamps, but not really for heat. Just for daytime light as my room is constantly dark(window is covered up to keep drafts out in the fall and winter). I just take cardboard boxes, cut a hole in the bottom, and then put it on the top of the cage. Then I put the light over the hole in the box and it shines down into the cage. The box keeps the light high enough off of the plastic top to keep it from overheating the plastic or the cage, as the heat lamps get way hot.

Hey cody i was wondering were you found good plans to build a rack?

[Cody]

I found them in a google search for homemade rack steps. I have it bookmarked on the other computer so later tonight I'll post it. It's just a simple shoebox rack made from melamine. Seems really simple and inexpensive, so that's perfect for me.

Edit: Haha, nevermind. With a simple google search I found it.

Hey thanks a lot. I think thats the hatchling rack do you have the plans for the adult rack?
Thanks a lot

[Cody]

Nope, can't find those plans, lol. It's basically the same as building the hatchling rack, only sized differently for the adult tubs.

This is what my balls are in right now. They change over to custom cages when their is space. They've been loving the windowsill lately thou.
Nothing fancy, but they thrive well.


Thanks
