Quick and easy hatchling rack.

[BoidKeeper]

My carpentry skills are some where between nill and none. But this was easy. It's a Plano shelf and some ABS pipe. Eventually I'll have deviders between the containers and containers on every shelf. All I did was get some ABS pipe from Cdn Tire and cut it to 18" long and that allowed for 4 containers to fit snug. The one draw back at this point is a whole colum has to come out to get to any container except the top one. That will change when I put in the deviders.
Heat is from the back with three large heat pads.

Next year I'll need two of these units if all goes well.

Sweet deal man!!

But what if you have to get at the bottom cage? do you have to lift all the other cages off it first?

[reptiledude21]

what do you keep in those tanks cause arent they a bit small for snakes

Read the post Jeffy. "The one draw back at this point is a whole colum has to come out to get to any container except the top one."

Small cages for small snakes. That's why the post is called "Quick and easy Hatchling rack".
Thanks guys,

Trevor, just a quick word of caution. Those look like Sterilite boxes and the top row of lids isn't weighted. I am correct?
Don't trust the lids on those. Corn snakes will get out of them. Been there, done that!!
The Rubbermaid shoeboxes, like the two on the bottom, are much better and the only size where the lid should be trusted for things like baby corns and milks.
There is nothing more aggravating than losing a bunch of babies after waiting 65 days.. It happens to lots of people every year. Baby corns are the hardest things to keep in a box, that I have ever worked with. They will go around and around the top lip and find their way out of the smallest crack

I noticed that right away but thank you. The ones outside of the main group are empty for now and are not heated they are just sitting there. The rest will get elastics as snake go into them.
Thanks for the heads up uncle Roy,
