This is a baby rack i put together last weekend. It's being heated with 11" Flexwatt.
The plans for this were borrowed from JWSporty @ Capital Colubrids. I just modified the deminsions a little.
Penny for your thoughts Jim.

They can be found at most pet stores. They are called Critter Keepers i think or Faunariums. One or the other. They are pricey. I bought them for moving my animals from Ontario to New Brunswick. Over $12.00ea

Nice stuff Brian!
I really like the planes on Jims site too. I copied them so I can bring them to my old high school shop teacher so he can have some of his students build me some.
Cheers,
Trevor

Thanks Trevor, one thing to note...
I have found that the base (depth from the wall) dimension should be deeper. When loaded with water dishes, the unit tends to be a little front heavy.

So either strap it to the wall, increase the base dimension, or put something under the bottom shelf to keep it from tipping forward.

Cheers
Jim
