rack question

Hi guy's and gals.. I want to get a rack but, I am unsure on the type or size. I want to get a rack that will hold hatchlings and then as they get older I can use the same rack for adults so they can grow an dI can use the same rack. any ideas on what I should get. I seen animal plastics has a nice rack system but, I am unsure if it can do what I want it to do. Thanks
 
In my experience, even an "escape-proof" rack made especially for hatchlings, is not. My adults are in Animal Plastics Economy racks, 64 quarts, and I am very happy with them.
 
Sweaterbox size racks are fine for all but the largest Corn Snakes. There are a number of companies that make this size rack (which houses 16 x 22 x 5 inch boxes). Baby snakes do not do well in large setups in my experience. Also, a sweaterbox would be less "escape proof" than something smaller. I keep baby snakes in plastic shoeboxes. These can be placed inside the sweaterboxes and set up so the shoebox gets the hear gradient created by the rack system. When the babies get bigger, they can be placed into the sweaterbox.
