Good Racks (Premade)?

[Lena]

My mom told me that she'd get me a rack for Christmas for my leos.. So now I'm looking for a moderately priced rack with maybe 6-8 drawers.

If anyone could give me some websites that I could order from, that'd be awesome.

Also - How many quarts should I look for per drawer?

well I would get these http://www.boaphileplastics.com/rhinoraxx_five_sideways_sterilite.html
free shipping and tubs included
they also have others, but i think the prices are right because the shipping and tubs are covered.

what age geckos are you planning to keep in it? adults maybe 15qt+ rack, i think most of the online pre-made racks are pretty expensive you could make a rack 4times the size and still have money left over ask you mom for rack supplies and an enigma with the money you saved haha. good luck tho i think if you arent inclined to build your own ^those look nice and sturdy to me but i dont think they come with thermostat either.

I always seem to mess up when I build stuff on my own. :main_laugh:

hahaha! Seriously though build your own or maybe do it as a project with mom! My parents are going to turn my entire closet into a rack.

Look up Vision racks. They have some good stuff. I have two four drawer racks from Boaphile Plastics called "Ball Rooms," the drawers are a good size, but I did have to buy the thermostat seperate. They took a long time (six or seven weeks) to ship my order. In retrospect, I should have gone with Vision. In my case, I could have had my racks the next day had I gone with Vision, they're only three blocks from my house. Their racks are the best I've seen at a good price.

Be careful turning your closet into a rack. If you neglect to ventilate it you'll bake your beasties and/or you could have a serious fire hazard on your hands. Think it through thoroughly.

We are well aware of the risk but thanks. We will be equipping the closet with digital themometers that will be displayed outside of the closet as well as each individual will have their own thermometer

That sounds good. I'd like to see some pics when its complete.

Reptile Basics makes some really nice premade racks.

I really like my Animal Plastics racks, but they sure have gone up in price!

So far, I'm loving Animal Plastics. Their "1754(6) 6/12 Tubs" economy rack is now my #1 choice. Seems perfect for what I need. And I can choose to use the large 'breeder' size tubs or the smaller, single tubs.

My only thing is buying the sterilite tubs separately.. And where to find them.

animal plastics are okay but you have to buy the tubs somewhere there usually sold out imo
