My new rack

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

So I decided I would build a small rack system for my babies and wanted to give them more space then they need...they are spolied. So anyways, this rack is from a plastic storage rack normally 36x24x72 but i cut down the poles making it 42" high. It took a while because i didnt want to have to use lids so my measurements had to be perfect. I am using 26q tubs and am using heat tape with a herpstat. I love it so far and will post more picks or anything if people wanna know how i built it but i just wanted to post some pics of my new rack. Nothing crazy cool or anything but for 120 bucks i think it is a very nice rack.
Let me know what you guys think about it

O my son helped me do a lot of it so some pieces of wood or the tape may not be too strait but he did his best for a 5 year old :main_thumbsup:.
Good family project (including our reptilian companions).
Thanks everyone for looking

Pretty Spifferific. Now did you attach the peg board, or do you just slide it on top of the bins?

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Ya the peg board is attatched to the bottom of the shelf

that looks awesome!

Looking good.
26qt seems large, how many babies per bin are you going to do?

This is very similar to what I did with my racks. It looks good.

I am doing 3 per tub all weighing about 20g.

iF you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost you?

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

I dont mind at all, Minus the thermostat everything was 120. Thats including heat tape and all. I got everything at lowes with their 10% discount, and i already had all the wood i would need so i just needed peg board which is like 3 bucks for a 2x4. the plastic rack itself was 35 on sale. everything else was all pretty cheap.
