    Snake Racks

    Does anyone know of any cheaper snake racks? I have plans to build one and its going to run about $300 for everything from the tubs, wood, heat tape, and thermostat. Just wanted to see if anyone knew of any cheaper before i committed to this.

    Cheapest is to build it yourself, naturally. That way, you can also design it to conform to any arrangement of tubs you wish.

    The only pre-made rack I would see as worth the money is one that comes with heat and tubs that is still below $300. Otherwise, it's just easier to build it or have a friend do so if you are not adept with tools.

    Have the store cut it for ya. Just make sure you bring the dimensions in and make sure you walk out with the right cut dimensions.

    I would vote...DIY with that many tubs and that spending money
