    Re: Where to get cheap racks?

    Your best bet will be to find a used one or build your own. Check on kingsnake and fauna to see if anyone in your area is trying to sale anything.
    I recommend building your own.

    How many tubs do you need?

    Animal Plastic and Reptile Basics have racks for less than $300 but you will get 4 tubs max, so if you need more tubs building your own will be a better route.

    Yea I was planning on building my own but if I would find one for the same price it'll cost me to build one then it would be better to just buy one.

    Re: Where to get cheap racks?

    Ill post some pics of my home made rack in a little bit... I just went to Ace hardware and bought a 5 shelf storage rack and you can adjust the heights on each level. I paid 80$ for the rack and it can fit 8 116qt tubs so you should be able to get plenty of tubs on there... I think its ridiculous to pay 300$ for a 4 tub rack when everything is plastic. These ones are heavy duty and you can adjust the size for baby tubs and adult tubs.

    i paid 80$ for the shelf and 12$ per 116qt tub... thats around 200$
