help with rack system

[geckogirls]

Okay I have 7 geckos, and only a bedroom to keep them all in, I am looking to build my own rack, I was going to buy one, but I think I would be better off building my own, I need help with it though, like what size sterilite tubs to get, how to build the shelves, how to put the heat tape down, how the heat tape works, everything, I am really new at this, All I have is 20L 40 Gallon and 10 gallon tanks, with screen lids, and heating pads, so I have no idea how to use heat tape, or strips, and actually know nothing whatsoever about it, so if someone could give me some advise on how to build a small rack system that is maybe two tubs long by 4 high,(total of 8 tubs) so that it isn't too big, and I can set it next to my dresser in my room.

Thanks!!

Crystal, PM me with any questions you may have after reading the above thread. I can help you design a smaller one if your needs are not as much as the rack I described.

I too was a bit overwhelmed when I built my first, but it really isn't as hard as one would think. Obviously a professionally built one will be nicer looking,but those are only built to specific sizes and are a bit costly(we all need to charge for our labor time)
