No one is living in it yet. The back was painted today. And stayed out side all day and was later brought in. Tomorrow is when everyone will go in.

I don't have any heat, and a african fat tailed gecko is on top. She is my baby and I don't want to put her in a tub!

Flexwatt took me 15 minutes to solder up last night for 4 shelfs. Might I suggest you get some before winter atleast.

Great job on the rack, but you need a few vent holes in the tubs for air exchange.

I thought I saw some vent holes, didn't I? But you should get some heat source.

It looks like your shelves are 4' long. If so you might have problems with sagging in the future. Since your using the lids it shouldn't be a problem unless it gets too bad. But it is something to watch out for, especially with the aquarium on top.

I try to keep all of my racks less than 2' wide, or use supports on wider ones.
