Building your own rack system

Well, I started working on my rack last weekend. I should be finishing up this weekend. I will be sure to post pics here when done. Looks like it is turing out great. I made mine module so that I could expand it as needed. Right now, I should be able to house my current 5 and any hatchlings that I get this year, but, I know that I will need more room soon.

Let me know if you need a hand there amateur........ I'll hold your beer.

BTW, I tried to call you back the other night but couldn't get ya.

Sorry, but I am already done. You are welcome to come and help me set up the heat tape and all this weekend.

Guess I missed ya. Been having problems with the Cell phone. Need a new one.

Let me just repeat what has already been emphasized: that this was such a helpful thread!!! Really good info! thank you Cav!
I would head out to my garage and start work now if it weren't so freakin' cold here!!!

Cav's a name i havent seen on the boards lately. Anyway, i owe this man some pictures. Granted it's not A+ work and i threw a couple juvenille cages in there to show what it looks like. It's since been watersealed, so it's basicly the same. The next one i build will look much better, but this one gets the job done and that's all i was looking for. Please ignore the mess in the background. I was in the middle making air holes when i took these pictures. The shelves dont fit quite as tight as i had hoped and i kept hitting the peg board and heat tape in the back when i put the containers in so i went ahead and put some stops on the shelves. Like i said, nothing pretty about it, but it gets the job done

I am still waiting for Cav to build me my rack system

Don't worry howie, CAV and I are getting together on Thursday and I will mention it to him. maybe him and I will work on it.

And, for those of you that want to see it, here is my new rack. Still need to stain it and coat it, but here it is.

Do you own a measuring stick?? Them shelves are a wee bit tall for your sawed off little box. I'm just sayin'............

FWIW, beauty is immaterial. As long as it holds snakes and keeps them warm, mission ack!

I agree, as long as the snakes stay warm and it holds a bunch..that's all that matters....
