My rack finnaly finished

[RAZERWIREREPTILES]

Let me know what you think. Ill go ahead and give you a break down of parts.
2 x 18Dx48Lx72T metal wire rack = 100 - 50 each
2 x 18Dx48L wire rack shelfs = 30 - 15 each
2 x 4' x 8' "soft" PVC type shower board = 30 - 15 each
40 x sterilite 15 qt clear view = 138 - 3.99 each
2 x 97 qt sterilite = 22 - 11 each
the rest of the stuff you see i already had many extra containers lights and so on
so about 290 dollars and a little work will get you this "note that there is not heat tape as of yet and that will and a good bit of coin to the end amount"
so here we go

this is the front view as you can see i have 32 tub in place as of now but it can hold up to 36 on each tub i have the leos name pic sex=blue or pink and the other color is for the group

I added this shelf for extra storage nothing else as of now

This is the right side if the rack system the box in the top right is home to a young ball python female to the left of that box there are 2 smaller boxes that hold our crested gecko 2 in each right below them are there new homes i will be putting them in there is a divider between the crested and ball while me and the wife work on the rack its a temp. housing set up.

this is the crested new homes i cut a small portion out of the top and used zip ties to secure a screen for the heat lamp and ventilation keeps humidity very well i also have egg crate/light defuser with screen over the top of it, under the dirt to drainage

Sorry i could not get a whole pic of it the height is 72 inches tall 112 inches long could not get far enough back to get the whole thing in 1 shot let me know what you think. Future mods will be Temp controlled heat tape and i will be using the shower board to skin the sides and back of the center portion to help retain heat in the leo rack

6.11.7 leopard geckos
3.1.0 crested gecko " getting frustrated the hatchlings keep turning out to be male..."
2.5.0 tokay gecko
1.1.0 fimbreautis giant leaf tail gecko
0.1.0 ball python

Hope you enjoy

I love that the Leo tubs are also labeled by photograph, great idea! Are those Snack Packs on the top shelf in the 3rd pic?

 

[RAZERWIREREPTILES]

LoL its banana baby food for the crested ohh and as far as the pics i use a binder for all my records and use the wall e world photo maker to do my pics and on it they have a option to fit 9 pics on to a normal sized pic and i just cut them apart but yeah i love the pics
i deal with to many name at work and at home to remember everyone lol

Very nice I want to do something simular but here in Canada I can not find those wire racks for less than $100....

 

[RAZERWIREREPTILES]

Wow 100 for each rack that sucks i went to the web address on the product box to see what they had for parts and what not but there own site sells the rack for almost 3x as much as the store cost but as far as the price 50 for the first rack then then second rack i picked up on a different day and the price went up to 60 you only get 5 shelfs per rack so i had to combine them and still buy 2 extra shelfs to get what i wanted

 

[liljenn]

WOW! Looks great! Very creative, I love it! The labeling idea is smart too!

 

[RAZERWIREREPTILES]

Thanks it is still a work in progress not sure how the end result will look as far as the labeling goes but i will deff keep the pics on there make it very easy for where is ? at a glance

 

[eric]

nice set up where did you get the rack?

 

[ssscales]

Looks great!....:main_thumbsup:

 

[malt_geckos]

looks good! We use those baby food lids for our calcium trays and we use the plastic tub part for water...we just cut the container in half and make sure it's smooth. But we actually eat the baby food. lol! We don't have any cresteds to feed it to.

I like the system you have going! Looks awesome!

 

[eyelids]

Great work!

Thanks all for the replys. Well it took longer than expected to get my heat tape in so i guess you/i could call this a very short cooling period but the good new is my heat tape will be in within the next few days after installing it my next project will be to build a incubator w/ 2 different tamp chambers lower on bottom and higher on top that will fit between the wall and the left side of the rack the metal rack its self came from a "BIG BOX" store did not if we could put those names on here oh well its target sorry if i am not supposed to. they were like 55 each bought 2 of them and had to buy 3 more shelfs to do the add on work and get the look i wanted i also plan on buying some of that foil wrapped styro thats like 3/4 thick and cutting it to fit under each shelf to help better contain heat man its gonna be rocking cant wait to have it 100% but as for the time being 90% done is still great for my need at the moment

Thanks again for the interest

Ohhh and i forgot to note as you see for the Leo food and water dishes i use little Tupperware plastic cups about 4oz i think but... i have come to learn that because of the shape of the cup when feeding meal worms they tend to die much faster in the cups due to stackage so i have found the little clay pot "bottoms" i was looking for and have switched out to them and lowered the amount of food given to 8grams a feeding this i find to be the best number to keep the meal worms from crawling out to fast in about 3 days i will have about 5 escapes with no Leos around to eat the meal worms less with the Leos present but.... sometimes my Leos get bored and will just knock them all out of the dish so what do ya do.....lol i am also proud to announce our first batch of 5000+ mini meal worms have been produced with the second colony of beetles about 5 times the first colony and our Dubia roach colony has started to give birth to there ......baby roaches i guess don't know what to call them. but we are coming one step closer to be self reliant.
