[turtlelover666]

hi, i have just inhereted some money, and of course it is going to be spent on adding to my reptile collection. can anyone recommend good rack systems to buy as i can finally afford to get one and build up my reptile collection and get some more experience and maybe consider breeding

I will offer my impartial opinion and say buy Rhino vivs!
The 1220x 600x 300 actually have the same or very similar dimensions to a 4 foot rack with the advantage you can easily see into the viv,you dont need the extra space to open the draw.I feel they hold temps and humidity better and if a change of circumstances you can rearrange to suit!

The best ones available in the UK at the moment are Pro-racks and Freedom Breeder in my opinion...but obviously it all depnds on what species you're looking to keep.

Having just changed my homemade vivs for pro racks and only a few weeks in I've realised that humidity wise they are not very good, I'd say plastic vivs are still the way to go

I'd be replacing my racks with rhino vivs if I could afford the...

7x 6x3's and 3x 5x3's right now but I bet that's a tidy sum

Vision racks are the best I have seen/used for the money by far. Freedom Breeder racks also the part.

build your own?
less than 1/2 the cost of a professionally built rack

That is until you build a mini house specifically for them as well though, surely Alan.

if you have the money get a big stack of rhino vivs, will last you longer and they look better.

Cheaper too- the 48" FB racks are £1895 for 6 tubs, 48" Rhino vivs at 30cm high would be £1410 for 6.
