    Re: Homemade rack guides?

    Awesome. Buncha DIY's here. Wasn't expecting so many great guides. The one Matt built seems to be the easiest and it's also pretty easy on the wallet.. and it looks rather nice as well.


    I called my sisters bf yesterday and asked if he'd like to help me build it. He's one of those Mr fix-its who can build/fix just about anything. He said he would do it, so I'm pretty stoked. Even though I could do it myself, I know he'll improvise and come up with some cool new ideas for it. Now it's just a matter of keeping the cost at or around $100-150. I'm poor.

    Anyway, thanks for all the great responses guys.

    Dusty just made one using my plans: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=53734

    They used plywood instead of XPVC; total cost was $75 for 5 shelves not including tubs or heat. $150 would be very easy to do. Good luck!
