Searching for breeder rack (Leopardgecko)

[Lottiz]

Hi!
In Sweden we have just one rack to buy but I've seen a lot of different racks by the webb from US. I want links to your favorites please!

In Sweden the laws minimum size for one adult leopardgecko is 0.36 square meter.

I think it's pretty unlikely that anybody that builds an enclosure in the U.S. is going to ship out of country. Shipping cost would be more than the cost of the rack.

Thanks!
Yes we have very distinct laws generally for housing pets , and particulary for reptiles.
As I told;
0.36 square meter= 1 adult (60x60cm, 30cm high)
Here is a few examples:

if the leo is 10cm the petbox must be 0,06m² (20x30cm)

10-15cm = 0,09m²

16-20cm = 0,16m²

21-30cm = 0,36m²
----
And if I want a group i have to add 0.15m² for no 3 and all after that one.
3 adult must have 0.36+0.15= 0.51m² (100x51cm).

We have the same law at our shows (!!!!) but the people how is responsible for the show can ask for dispensation. To day the law can accept a box for 1L to an adult leopardgecko for one day at the show. Thats about 30x30cm. No deli cups here :main_no: But it's for the animals sake and I thik it's good :main_thumbsup:

To be a reptilbreeder in Sweden we got to have a certificate from The Swedish Animal Welfare Agency:

To import animals to Sweden:

And my own breeder certification, to prove they are all captiv bred ( I mean, it's very common to see a Raptor running around in the bush :main_laugh: ...):

It's a lot of stuff to handle befor you can start bred reptiles here. And some communes don't even accept reptiles at all !
----

And all prices for this racks are just to much! If reptiles online takes 623USD for V35(tubes inculded) I have to pay 1451 USD for exact the same back here in Sweden! It's double up and more! I can't belive the shipping will be more then 800USD?? So i will earn a lot to ship directly from US...

LLLreptile ships Vision Racks to Europe, but the shipping almosts costs more than the product itself.

I asked about how much would it cost to ship the 60 tubs hatchling rack and 60 tubs, and they said that around 350$ each. In other words, around 700$. In other words again, around 450€.

I made my adult's rack myself but with the hatchlings I don't want to make any little mistake that would result in escapes. That's why I thought about buying one but... Geez, I don want to waste 450€ in shipping!

Now I'm thinking about reducing expenses by getting the 40 tubs model, that includes the tubs and cable and is smaller, so the shipping should be cheaper too. But I haven't asked yet.

If you are interested about any other rack from Vision Cages I can ask them how much would it be to ship it when I contact them about mine.

 

[Lottiz]

I agree...it's just too much! I live allmost next door to Dennis, and he is a distributive traderi for Vision Racks in Europe. I think it's easier and maybe cheaper to buy by him anyway....
