My nicer half , affectionately referred to as The Lolo , is in Cali for X-mas and one of her friends dropped off her present. Its a box with Albino Ruthvini , Knoblochi , Cal kings & Tarahumara Mt. Kings ( there is other stuff but doesn't pertain here ).
OK , here is where I need the help. I'm a boid guy so not sure how to set up the new rack I have to build. Here are my options ....
Build a backheated cabinet that the tubs w/lids can slide into while stacked.
Build a rack that will hold tubs w/ lids belly heated by heat cable.
Which would be the better choice? The ambient in our snake house is 74/75 degrees right now and will be back to 78/79 come Febuary.

Personally I would leave them at your room temps IMO. If they are are small babies you could do something to provide heat right now that puts them in the low to mid 80's but I wouldn't go much higher. The low temps may put the knob's into a semi burmation but that is their nature....
The other end is to set up a rack with a hot spot in the mid 80's and just run it at that year round....alot of folks do that too....
Yup, what Jeff said!:cheers:

Going to have to settle for pics after X-mas since the missus took the camera with her. She's in a mad scramble for a box since the amount we were told to expect was added to and the box she took is now too small.

In a perfect world, yes. At the moment , not so much.
The package got here with ...
4.4 Albino Ruthvini
5 Knoblochi ( I guess tarahumara locality, I'm a boa guy , what do I know )
4 leos
1.2 Cal Kings ( 50/50s )
1.1 BRBs
Why am I disgruntled? I was expecting all babies and got 0.2 near adult Cal Kings and the Knoblochi are not babies so the tubs I had ready for those are too small and the extra 2.2 Ruthvini has my extra tub stack pushed to the limit.

Not sure if they do or not. When I call Lolo tonight I'll have her ask. And yes , they look like your girl.
The Knoblochi are badass. I'm really liking those.
