Multiple species rack system

[Bighead]

I am starting to plan a rack system that will double as a stand for my 125 gal. beardie tank. I don't have to many of any one species, so I was wondering how things might be different if I want to use it for leopard geckos, corn snakes, milk snakes, and maybe ball pythons (but probably not). Also, does anybody use a rack setup for beardies? I would love to see some pictures for ideas. Just so I can get an idea, what are the dimentions of the rubbermaid bins I might need for all of these species?

Well im not sure what you are asking. but for a rack for multiple species you would need to have each heating element controled separatly so you can have each rubbermaid at a differend temperature.

You could individually heat each shelf to accomodate the animals on them. I cannot foresee keeping Beardies in a typical rack system since they require basking lights, as well as much more space than the typical rack setup is capable of providing.

As for rubbermaid size, it all depends. Milks can be 3' or they can be 6'. Ball Pythons generally do quite well in tighter enclosures. My rack uses the 11.3 gallon rubbermaids and houses a variety of boids as well as Leopard Geckos. I also use the same size for a Pueblan Milk. I would definitely not go any smaller than that. You may want to go a little larger with perhaps some of the underbed units.

Thank you.
