lil help on a rack if you dont mind

[Hotshot]

i wanna make a rack, but i want to have it where the tubs have lids not just a shelf but i was thinking can't they get out of the tube with the lid? or if i do make a rack where the shelfs are the lid can i use peg bored? as the shelf/lid so they got air holes what you guys think?

I've never built a rack so I can't give you any first hand experience, but here are some threads that might be of some help...

They can't get out of a tub with a lid if you have the proper clips or fasteners for it. Just the lid itself = easy escape. Add some binder clips or small bungee cords like mine and they're not getting out.

As for a rack, check out those threads and do a search here in the forums for rack building and you should find some great tips. As for me, my 'rack' is a plastic shelving unit from Lowes.

Just remember if you do it with lids then you have to totally remove the tub to then remove the lid to get to the snakes. Kind of a pain.

so if you dont want to build a rack, why are you asking?

[Hotshot]

i do but im looking to make somthing small like maybe hold 5 snakes just wondering what you guys think go with lids or make a small rack

[Patrick Long]

your posts are so hard to read, you should use some commas or periods. makes it a lot easier.

its a preference. like sparky said, do you want to take it all the way out just to open it, or do you want to be able to open it part way just by sliding.

but seriously....try some periods.

I'm sorry, I type very fast and just over look some things...... How much do you guys think it would cost to make a rack that would hold 5 to 6 snakes?
