Weekend rack project

I said it would take eggs to motivate me to build my new rack, and Medusa layed 27 so I figured I better get going. This rack was cheap and easy to build. I bought two galvanized steel shelfing units, each with five shelves, and improvised a bit to come up with this ten shelf model. It holds 40 tubs, 30 sterilites and 10 smaller 'glad take-along' style tubs. It looks a lot better than the first rack I built, maybe because this time I didn't have to measure or cut any melamine. I bought the two shelving units for about $50 and the sterilites were 97 cents apiece. The heat cable is a 37 foot 'repti heat cable' about $20. Some assembly required... but I have room for my babies when they come! :) I still have to drill holes in all the tubs and get bowls and hides but I am making progress lol...

Great job! It looks really nice! I still have to get my rear-end motivated to build a hatchling rack .... :sidestep:
 
Thanks guys... nice avatar btw :) lol that baby kinda looks familiar.
Getting motivated is 99% of the work for me, once I got going on this it was easy.
 
That is the 'fiesty' little male we got from you at the show. As you can tell, he is still full of it!

On a side note... 4 out of 6 of the babies we got from you have moved to hoppers already! :crazy02:
 
Sweet! Looks much better then our improvised closet! Where'd you get the racks from? Lowes, Home Depot, or other Hardware store? Maybe that would work better then what we've got now...

The shelves were from a local hardware store called diamond, but they are made by a company called space solutions (series 250) here is a pic of the box...

I actually used a heat cable thing, it's attached with silver tape but you can get heat tape at the bean farm or MG reptiles.
