Finally up with more than dial-up

This is a complete picture of my rack system. Finished and running. Nows the time to add to the collection.

Well Paul, it looks like you did a great job on that rack! Congrats!

BTW, enjoyed getting to spend the evening with you guys the other night at the Herp Society meeting.

thanks.

Yea, the meeting was really interesting. Just wish that we could have gotten to talk a little more. Will all have to get together again sometime soon. You and Gary will have to come down to the house sometime when it warms up a bit.

Leave it to a Texan to complain about the cold...

Just to let you know, I am not a native texan. I lived most of my life in upstate NY, about 20 miles south of the Canadian boarder. I know what cold it, and to tell you the truth, I really miss it. When I said that they needed to come down when it warmed up a bit was so that any reptiles living on my 150 acres would be out and moving about.

Hey pcar, how much did you end up spending on your rack from start to finish?? Looks like a very practical setup(and cheap)

Well, lets see here:
Heat Tape, Wiring and Thermostat: 150.00
Wood (used White Pine, peg board backing and Hard Plywood shelves): 75.00
Stain and Sealent: 15.00

Total: 240.00

Time it too me to build: 4 weeks (Because of having to do it in my spare time)

Smile Just goes to show that no two are alike.

Does anyone else have pictures of their racks they'd be willing to share?

Nice Job Drizz!
