Does anyone have a diagram or advice on how to setup a rack or rubbermaid container?

I have a glass setup at the moment but I want to experiment on an environment inside a rubbermaid or sterilite container. I hear a lot of comments that they are not as nice to look at but are easier to keep the temperatures correct esp. the humidity which I can not keep steady at all times with the heat side drying it up! So can anyone help me with info on how to set it up? Is it called a rack or something?

This is what I have now!

Check these manufacturers out:

www.animalplastics.com
www.rbiplastics.com

You purchase these, or take inspiration from them and come up with a DIY project.

Ok I see what kind of product I can work with but I am still kind of lost with the setup after you buy the right container for your BP's? Like would you setup lighting or just use heat? and how would you keep a cool side in one of these closed containers? Do you need vented parts?

Or if anyone has a picture I could look at that would help too!

All the information you seek is here on the forum by using the search feature, there also some informational modules specific information regarding housing. One such detail mentions housing snakes separately so if you have more than one plan for enclosures you feel you can manage best.

all I found here was glass setups what keyword should I use to search for rubbermaid or plastic container setups

I found some info on it finally but I just have a few small questions.......how do I know how big of a container to get? and should the UTH cover the whole half that is heated?
