More on Racks

[kristi]

I'm very interested in a rack system. My boyfriend has volunteered to build me one but we don't really know where to start. Could someone please post a pic of what their racks look like? A few pics would be great so we have some ideas of what to go by.

Thanks!

Those look pretty simple to construct. I was actually just thinking about getting the plastic drawers to start out with (looks like that what's you have for some of them). How many do you keep in each? What is your heat source?

We'll I have 2 Adult racks with 27qt tubs, 2 hatchling/subadult racks with 15 qt tubs, & the plastic ones are 18qt for some of the holdbacks. The adults hold 1-4 adults the 15qt hold clutchmates and the hold backs one just 1 each altough at times I've kept clutchmates in it. I use 3'' flexwatt heat tape. I'd like to add that leos are able to climb out of the plastic ones, I've heard of it with many people. With me I've had a few get out yet they would only go behind the tubs inside the frame they slide into, since non have fully escape and I've been using them for abotu 4 years I haven't worried about replacing them just yet.
