    Animal Plastics VE175 rack?

    What do you guys think of this rack for housing BCI's? I'm planning on purchasing 3-5 BCI's over the summer and this rack looks like a great option for me. I already own AP's big 18 slot 1860 rack for my bp's and I absolutely love it. As long as I maintain the females under 8' with proper prey size/feeding schedule would this be sufficient to house them for a lifetime. I'm hoping this is a viable option for me since it would be considerably cheaper than a stack of 5 cages. The tubs are 52"x20"x12". For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, it is listed under "what's new/sales" on www.apcages.com

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Looks pretty nice. I saw it for the first time today. The VE175 is another quality tub in the Iris product line. It's pretty much the biggest tub out there and because its an Iris you can be pretty sure that they won't go changing design like the other plastic storage box makers like to do.

    I have a 7.5ft female boa in one of those tubs and she has plenty of room to stretch out and do boa-ish things I'd love one of those racks but yeah.. NO space!

    I've basically narrowed it down to the VE175 rack, five T13's, five T25's or a combination of two T13's for the males and three T25's for the females. Still weighing my options. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I want to make sure they are going to be comfortable for a lifetime.

    Any way you go, you can't go wrong buying from Mark. He is a super guy with a quality product!
