    Do any of you keep different species in the same rack?

    I just finished my 11 tub rack and my first idea was to just have all bps in it, but then I got to thinking, and I want to put my leo in it, they have the same heat requirements. I know some animals can carry diseases that are lethal to others, but do I have anything to worry about having leos and bp's in the same rack?

    My balls and corns share the same rack, while the balls are juvies. But when there adults, it will be moved.

    Re: Do any of you keep different species in the same rack?

    i keep balls, corns, a texas rat snake and a BCI in one rack....

    it's works pretty well, the corn and rat snake have the same temp requirements, and my bp is perfect with a hot spot at 88-89˚.

    the boa is in a 41 qt tub which is on a separate thermostat.

    Yup, I have corns and bps on the same rack. Their heating elements are controlled by different thermostats, but so far no problems. Everyone has good temps and is healthy.

    Don't corns and bp's have relatively the same heating requirements?

    Somewhat, but I think corns need a cooler hot side temperature than ball pythons.

    Not really, corns really only need 80-85 for a warm side. For the corns, I don't even use a heat source during the summer as the temps in my house stay plenty warm enough for them.

    We keep our Philodryas, a jungle carpet, and our bredls in the same rack as some balls. Probably the funnest rack to clean, as all the Morelia try to eat my face, and the Philodryas usually try to bolt whenever the tub is opened .
