So I got these two dumeril's boas that are gradually outgrowing 10 gal tanks. I also have a new snake on the way, and I'll eventually need something to keep adult house snakes in. Sooo...I'm in the market for any kind of rack system for 32 qt tubs.

Besides buying the materials and making one myself (which is a last resort if finances run low), what are your opinions of what I should look into getting?

Animal plastics? vision? boaphile? any others?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Jasons Jungle. Best plastic racks on the market in my opinion.

Never tried jasons jungle racks but the best I have used is the ap racks.

Mine's a Reptile Basics - got it from Rich at a White Plains expo. Rich was a delight to deal with, and the rack does its job admirably!

Only two caveats - it's a CB70 rack, and the only one I have experience with, so can't compare with other racks.

Jasons, AP, Reptile Basics, Boaphiles.... they are all quality racks.

The two main reasons I prefer Jason's are the fact they hold the most consistent temps from top shelf to bottom shelf. I own 4 different styles of Jason's racks (from 28 slot hatchling racks to big ole 5 slot CB-70 racks) and every one of them have no more than a degree difference from top tub to bottom tub.

The other reason is I have been to Jason's shop on numerous occasions and I know first hand what a anal retentive perfectionist he is when it comes to making his product. He puts racks on the "defective" list for the most minor issues, such as a barely noticeable scratch or a tub not sliding in and out as smoothly as he wants it to. They literally HAVE to be perfect.

Just about everything i have here is being kept in a Reptile Basics rack...The iris tubs are really easier to clean too.

I have 3 Reptile Basic racks. I have no problems with them. Fast shipping, great packaging, all that good stuff. They are solid and I like the little locking pins that hold the tubs in place.

I do not have any AP racks but I do have an AP cage. Once again, quality product and easy to deal with.

I have heard nothing but good things about Jasons Jungle and Boaphile.

Really dont think you can go wrong with any of the above.
