If you get all your reptiles from the same place and you know they're all healthy, you don't really need to qt do you?

im seriously getting sick of this, one minute people are recomending racks as a perfectly valid option, the next im getting chewed out for taking the suggestion
Well let's see , you have a royal and a rainbow which will both get at least 3.5', so knock that assumption off.

Most breeders put royals in a 27"x18"x4" tub so I used the common size.

And I have never heard of anyone buying a rack and then moving them back into a viv.

Say what you want but the truth is blatantly obvious.

@ Corey

How would you know they are all healthy? What if only one was sick? What if that place got them all from different sources?

Re: worth the money?

riight so all breeders are horrible people for keeping their snakes in a tub. im glad i have descended to the scum of those here who keep their snakes in racks. they should all be shot and dragged through the streets for doing so.

your oppinion has been noted and rejected, deal with it and move on. also, in general you are a major killjoy and douchebag, im glad you are at peace with it, but im putting you on ignore so there is no sense bothering to try to reply to my posts

Ask a breeder to see one of their pet snakes and it won't be in a tub. They keep the snakes they use to breed in conditions that they can survive in not thrive in.

I see the truth hurts you. Sorry your offended because I called you out for your flighty and unstable ways. Sorry that logic and reason make me a killjoy. Also thanks for calling me a douchebag and putting me on your ignore list, it made me laugh hard. Now I shall make fun of you and you will never know!

Re: worth the money?

One of the reasons it's ok for breeders to use tubs is all of the snakes in the rack are from the same clutches and have only ever been exposed to each other so there is no risk or need for quarentine.
Many breeders do infact keep their adult snakes is vivs over racks.
Racks are not the end of the world but again I would advise going with the more expensive vivs. Truly the only reason to keep snakes in a rack is to save space or money. I know I didn't buy my snakes to hide them. I will bet after using a rack you will wish you had gone the other way.
Korbin is direct,opinionated and sometimes rude but he is not a "douchebag" He cares and is trying to help but doesn't engage any filters on his replies. Putting people on your ignore list just makesbyou wonder why threads have gaps. Maybe everyone can put pride away and get back to the snakes ???

You're correct about a lot Dan.

I would venture that quarantine is still needed though if they bring in outside animals.

I know the breeders I deal with, even the biggest, use quarantine.

Also, if I was keeping two animals I'd probably own some vivs.

I believe my animals thrive actually. Nothing says thriving like eating, pooping, shedding and breeding on a regular basis
