How to build a cheap, fast, and easy snake rack

I was able to build a pvc rack that houses 5 adults/10 sub adults plus 12 hatchlings for under $250. Had Home Depot cut all the pieces so all I had to do was assemble and add heat tape from Reptile Basics. Building a rat rack now.

I've built my own rack also. Works just as good as a high dollar rack. The plastic shelving from lowes.

Where do you get those gray bins of yours?

where oh where did you find that awesome watering can? I need couple those....

All the heat mat makers told me you can't use them with plastic tubs. Even with a thermostat.

What all do the racks come with or need? Jus a single one I’m looking to get

duh you can wash cups....

Where would u put the probes when heating with the pad?

Man you have some of the best videos, really appreciate the content.

If you were going to use a tote would it be better instead of using a clear one and adding hides to use a colored tote and treat it more like an individual from the rack, where the whole tote would basically be the hide?

Wait why didnt you have water in your temperary tubs.??...

This may be a dumb question... but what size are all your tubs?

I have my ball python in a blacked out fish tank with only the front unpainted so I can check on her. I am wanting to get a rack but they're so expensive. Cheapest ones I've found are for juveniles for 70 bucks on TGR. I'm on a fixed income so I can't really do what most breeders do. I am researching breeding tips so I can have a little extra money to get through the month between checks. My question is what was the name of the site you got that grey rack behind you in most of the vid? I'd like to give it a browse

Its not problem when the racks only have the heat source coming from the back side and not the bottom? I can’t seem to find any rack systems with heat coming from the bottom.

Hi Chris, I'm looking to get a ball python or blood python. Do you sell your snakes on morph market? I would like to buy a snake straight from someone that knows what they are doing like you

Get a large bucket and fill it with soapy water then you can just throw the used water cups in there and when it’s time to wash then you’ll only have to rinse them out almost like how they do glasses at the bar. Just an idea 💡 👍🏼 good video

a 48" wide shelving unit is the exterior dimentions. Can't fit 2 24" wide tubs side by side. wont work

your videos are the best, always happy and smiling. thanks for always brightening my day!

Where do you buy the rack?

Do you sell your hatchlings?

Does that rack that you got from ars caging ship to the uk?

Can I plasti dip the outside of the clear enclosure? To maker it dark?

Lol it’s crazy to go back to the beginning and see how far you came great job you are definitely one of my favorite breeders because you can see the passion you have thanks for the video

Do these have lights? I've always heard 12 on 12 off.

Hallo sir may i know what's the name of gray plastic box you use? Thanks!

ARS is down the road from me, love their racks!

Question, how do you know what size to get? For instance I have 2 babies 1 adult male and going to get an adult female. I know you need different sizes for the mail or the female and the baby but how do you know which rack or which style and size tub you need? Right now I really only need a single probably three different shingles just not really sure what size they should be

🐍🐍👌🏿

Where can I find the single level rack for $100? Looking, but no luck so far

Literally every topic I think to search for you already have a video on it. Thanks Chris!

What company can you order these single racks from to slowly build up a rack system?

New to racks

How do you prevent them from escaping

I try and go to other channels but ... I always come back to yours.

I can’t find the video of all your snakes my dad was telling me about 😍

I built a rack system like this with clear plastic tubs I blacked out with tape, I have belly heat on a thermostat and all make ball pythons went off feed, is it possible they just don't like the set-up? its been over a month now and they are still not eating.

Does the heat pad melt the plastic tubs?? Do you put the pads directly in the tub under the substrate or on the outside adhered to the bottom?

ware is the heat mat for them ????

This is such a great channel, you have a video on literally everything!

You sound like the rock Dwayne Johnson 🤣

This is my favorite educational channel

So the snakes doesn’t need a baskin light?

Will the heat pad burn through the plastic

Nice video but the title says how to build a rack...nothing in this video about building

Which thermostat do you use with your ARS 5040, also where do you get the cups for the water holder? One more question! Where did you get your printer and magnets for labeling? Great idea.

I have a 5 high 70 series & a 35 series. Is it ok, having males and females in the same rack?

When you mentioned the ball pythons getting RI from too much humidity is that the case for colubrids as well?

Do they live in the racks?

So they didn’t need any heat? And they will be okay?
