Schilsound Good Luck with your Visions. :cheers: Sounds like you've already made up your mind,so get them.
:flames:
Actually I said [at the end of my post] "Anyone with an option for me?"
I am still looking for answers. Despite your opinions [and those of your friends] I am still not sold on anything more than the Visions in regards to Price Vs. Space.
So once again ('cause you missed it the first time) Anyone have any options for me [and I'll add this part so it's clear as day] BESIDES the Reptile Basics/RBI racks -or- the Visions?
NOW ~sigh~ gotta get out my BIG flamethrower for the second part of this snappy-jazzy-punch-ya-in-tha-pouty-part reply . . .

By the way did you even bother to look in the store site? :shrugs: They have plenty of the new style!!!
Yes; I made my way to the store site; one link level under that which you posted.
The link that you posted was to Kingsnakes.com classifieds, which lists a very VERY limited supply. ~shrug~ not my fault you didn't post the link directly to the store.
In my reply you'll see the text I posted; no stock on the shoeboxes, and 4 sweaterboxes left as defined by the data in your post.
Then if you look above in my edit you'll see I posted the info from the store. So thanks for the implied suggestion that I can't navigate the web in order to check stock on some plastics . . . as another part of that edit I adress the cost. Let's go look, shall we?
I see now [having followed that link. again.] that a set of those racks to house the number of snakes I have to plan for will cost me something more like $1ooo to $15oo dollars, which I would much rather spend directly in the purchasing of and caring for animals. The visions [through a distributor] are gonna cost me a fraction of that. So if I odn;t find a really great alternative to those plastic racks I am gonna HAFTA go with the visions, you understand now financial status demands some sort of compromise? Cost Vs features, right?
So . . .back to the point I was making earlier before i was so rudely flamed-
I don't think there's going to be much to compete, but I am
still looking. Anyone have options?

Besides my reply was to Vinny. I believe he started the thread. Meanwhile I'll be sitting here drinking a brew looking at my RB.s :cheers:
And now let me address another thing; the undertone of superiority contained in your responses, the slightly snarly tone of the response, and your insistence that I somehow am wrong in replying to
your response to Vinny;
1./ Please don't assume that I have done or said or thought anything. I am leaning hard towards the visions; yes. But I am still looking for options. That's why I restarted posting in this thread. That's why I asked Vinny a question.
You betcha he started the thread. And if you look there was a pause of 5 weeks with no further information, so I asked him a question; direct and pointed. I did this because I have spoken to Vinny on PM before and was trying to see if he needed racks and still wanted some of the mice I have to offer maybe we could have a win-win-win situation based upon our geographical proximity... That's also allowed in the forums, no?
2./ Your response to vinny was after you saw me post a question to him, so maybe you wanna get up offa the tension here a little bit and realize you are the thread hijacker, not me. :twoguns:
-OR-
[no bullet points, just for a tension-easer]
You could stop, breathe and think a second:
This is a forum. It's a place to come for insight, answers, and communication through discussion.
Please don't assume- it's a bad idea, and this is even more true in text/online conversations than it is IRL.
If we cannot have an open, directed thread of conversation regarding personal experience, individual cases, and open honesty then WTH is this forum for?
What does not work for you and your friends may be the exact fitting piece of my personal puzzle. I took in your information; I acknowledged it, and I asked a question. Sorry if that rubbed you the wrong way. I am still exploring my options, and I was speaking to Vinny- Thank you for your input.
Now;
Does this mean I have made up my mind? No. I have just decided to further pursue a line of information. Does that warrant some snide remark about me not following up on some further information even when you post some misguiding information?
Relax. Try meds, meditation, or just plain ignoring the remarks that bother you so much.
Just don't expect me to roll over and grin while I take it in.. . . I stand by my right to ask any and all questions on this forum I deem reasonable; that's why I'm here.
Hell I found it so informative that I decided to PAY for it so that I could continue to take it in all the while supporting the system that gave me all this info, same as you.
And if you wanna snarl at me ~online~ for pursuing some line of information I find valuable go right ahead. Don't be surprised if I take a picture of it and post it on Ebaum, though. I like snarly poster pictures.
-< flame off>-
There. My first flame response on this board. Sorry if you take all of this the wrong way, TS- I was asking someone who appears to be at about my level of involvement and experience what soloution he found. just a discussion, that's all.
Now if you have an answer to my issue that doesn't imply anything negative, or assume much, or is just plain old friendlier in tone than your last one while still being informative lemme know.
Otherwise I'll have my camera ready. :flames:
