Nice work buddy, looks pretty good! Just out of curiosity, what's in the Kritter keeper there on the bottom right?

Paul,

Any reason that you've only got two shelves, and didnt use a shelf for the top of the sterilite?

I'd be afraid that my corns would pop the tops off the sterilte if there wasn't a shelf resting over it to keep it on snug.

Just curious.

Mine's really crude and therefore no pic shall be posted, but it's been great and done it's purpose. It's let me increase from 4 to 8, with more on the way for next year. I figure it can hold at least 18---even more if I adjust the top shelf and make it a 'hatchling' shelf for the 6qt sterilites.

Nice Job Drizz!
Thanks for the help CAV. Sorry for being rude in all the other posts. I shouldn't have asked all those questions 2 times or 5 TIMES!!!! I am starting my rack on wednesday and may be soon in a few days after. I will be glad to share pics when I'm done.

P.S. Can you please send me plans on making a rack for bigger tubs for bloods? I want it just to hold corns and bloods. Thanks.

Just customize it for whatever sized tubs you plan on using---not difficult.

No idea. Perhaps you'd get a better response if you posted that question on the appropriate forum, instead of a cornsnakes one. Head over to Fauna and see if someone there can help you.

What is this, the 6th time now?

No, I had just filled the water dish...he was attracted to the flashing lights.

The critter keeper has nothin' in it. That is one of my feeding boxes. There are 2 Basking lamp shrouds behind it though.

And thanks.

The biggest reason I didnt' add 2 more shelves is the fact that I ran out of the plywood that I used. I am working on another one that the current one will sit on top of, that will be used for mainly hatchlings and will there for have more shelves. I might even add more shelves to the current one...as I made it so that I could take it apart if needed.
