OK, so, I decided to build Mark Mandic's infamous "Eating Machine" rack for my ball pythons. I opted to use belly heat instead of back heat; this was hard. I only had 6 1/8" clearance between shelves, so there really was not much room for two adult hands to get in there to adhere the 11" heat tape w/ aluminum foil tape. Tricky tricky. 19' of heat tape, 1/2 litre of blood, 4 sheets of 5/8" black melamine, countless obscenities, 4 stitches, and 17 band-aids later, and here it is:
Here is a pic of the rack completed in place with the others:
And finally, a pic of my Helix in place above the shelves. It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it. Enjoy.
