Heating a rack

[Norm66]

I wound up ordering 10 28quart Sterilite tubs from Target.com shipped for $86. $8.60 per tub doesn't seem too bad to me.

I'm going to build a 3'-4" or so tall rack 3' wide out of melamine pieces 23 1/4" wide. If I'm doing my math correctly I should need 4-8' long pieces so the total should be about $100 for wood. I like the melamime because I can put it together and it'll be ready to use immediately rather than having to wait on primer, paint and polyurethane to dry sufficiently to where it's safe to trust the fumes with the snakes.

I figure the 28 quart isn't big enough for full grown animals but it will do me for a while and will serve in the future as a growout (fish term, do reptile folks use it?) rack for juvies to adolescents. Plus it's pretty cheap and easy to get running quickly.

I'm off to order Flexwatt now.
