The space savings is nice and the economics of more cage space for less money is nice, but personally my favorite reason is ease of cleaning. Racks are very easy to clean and sterilize. And as we all know, if it's EASY to clean, it WILL get cleaned. I know that there is no way that someone with a naturalistic cage setup is throwing out their bark and sand and scrubbing down their hides and other furnishings every week. But with racks its no problem. Only a few minutes of work per tub each week and you have a nice fresh germ free home for your snake. (until 5 minutes later when he takes a dump and slithers through it)
