animal plastics:

are they good rack systems?
are they worth the money or are they cheaply made?
do you have any sagging problems?
would you recommend belly or indirect belly heat?
did you order your thermostat from them as well?
which one do you have, do you see a difference between the cb70 and the 99??

what rack system do YOU recommend?

I am also really curious in the CB900 (or whatever it's called) vs the CB-70...I calculated it out a while ago and found if I recall right it had about 10-20% more floor space. Do you think the females would enjoy that extra space? Anyone have input??

I mainly used AP, and I loved them. The only sagging I have ever noticed were with the larger cages, like the T30's...and sagging was only minimal. I've never noticed any sagging with the racks. As for heating, I'd go with direct belly heat, vs. indirect. They're very high quality! A cage/rack I'd recommend over others

I currently have two 10 tall Cb-70 racks and one 10 tall 32 qt. rack. I use direct belly heat with both and have been extremely happy with them. I am in the process of totally upgrading all my caging to AP racks and cages.

thanks everyone for your input.. my only reserve was it seemed like its the best bang for your buck but it made me weary that the cost was so low compared to other places... I still havnt made up my mind completly as to which unit were going to get but i appreciate the input and cant wait to place my order!

I have AP, Freedom breeder and Vision Racks.
The Vision are by far the most versatile. The CB-70 is a great value and also can be converted to hatchling and sub adult tubs very easily.

It is 11- CB 70 tubs high or around 66 -hatchling tubs or 44 -sub-adult tubs or a combination of all three if you want. No other rack gives you that kind of versatility. Shop around and check prices. I have 2 Visions racks now and enjoy changing them as my needs change.

I got my CB-70 from reptilebasics.com.. I've looked at AP CB-70 racks, they look cheaper but the price doesn't include shipping if I remember correctly and you have to buy your tubs somewhere else.. and reptilebasics.com gives you the tubs, and doesn't charge extra for tubs/shipping

Very true, but nothing is ever free. Shipping is included in price. After calculations, make sure its the price and size you are willing to pay.

What size tub/rack and what reptiles are you housing? Im sure we are able to help you decide. Were you looking for a 28qt tub rack or 32qt?

im looking to house approx 6-7 adult ball pythons. it would be nice to have the versitility of using it as a juvinile rack too though considering all i have right now are august hatchlings, 200 & 400g balls currently. i dont want to have just a three shelf so i can expand our collection as i want...
