3 Tub Display Rack

It is almost complete. Three 110 qt Sterilite tubs.

I still need to touch up the paint and sand some relief for the flexwatt because the tolerance is tight (on purpose, of course).

I chose to use lids because it gives the flimsy sides stability and I can keep any baby snake in without fear of escape. And taking the tubs out is no big deal when there are only 3.

I am looking forward to being able to see more of my snakes...

Looking good so far.... I imagine I will end up needing one of those racks if I end up getting another snake or two....lol. We can't get flexwatt here in Canada though... I have seen some sort of wire at the pet store- I believe it is called heating cable... My only issue is heating the darn thing... Right now I have our baby corn in a 10 gal aquarium and Ari in a 20 gal aquarium, which belongs to Buddy our smaller snake... I just built this for Ari, but I want to get a Ball Python and hopefully way down the road a Tessera Corn as I just think they are the bomb!

Here is Ari's new Viv:

Very Nice!

There's more pics in my Albums if you wish to take a look.... I haven't taken one from afar yet as I haven't had a chance, but you can get the drift.... I used two picture frames for the doors. It's called recycling. The most expensive part to the viv was the under tank heating pad.I had the paint etc. All I had to buy was the plywood, pegboard, 9 pieces of stick-on floor tile, one ceramic floor tile for the heating pad, and caulking. It cost me about $30.00 to build the whole thing. Everything I had here at the house. Not bad for a woman to build all by herself..... It may not be perfect, but don't tell Ari that... lol. The viv I wanted at the store was $250 minus my discount and smaller. I think I saved myself a ton of money. Eventually, I may need to build a rack... Yes, you all are right.... snakes are addictive.

No not bad at all you did a great job!

your rack looks great!

All done. Testing temps with my Flexwatt and Herpstat. Should be able to move snakes in this evening.

Temps are good for 2 hours, so I moved my snakes. My young Corn is already taking advantage of the height and is nestled up on the small ledge right under the lid.

Much happier with this than my short tubs.

What a nice, economical way to use tubs...but with a better visual vantage. Well done!

Nice job! Very impressive!
