Yeah it's pretty easy with 2 people. Cheers for the idea mate, mines running great. You have to screw it to the wall or it's pretty wobbly

Well done mate, very cool:2thumb:

Are the racks wobbly then? I can't screw it to the wall but just want to check they are solid in design before I rush off and get one

 

[splimmy]

Nope I didnt find mine wobbly to be honest

 

[BenjaminBoaz]

What's the best tub to use for hatching boas and pythons in these, any idea?

Did you screw it to the wall. Because of the way they are designed they are wobbly.
Unless you screwed your shelves in because that will support it.

Yeah I'll get one and put it up in the next half hour. Mine works fine

I’ve just employed to a guy who is a chippie so I’m considering getting him to build me a customised rack but if not then I think I’ll be getting one of these sorted out.

 

[violentchopper]

Here's mine. You can't see the babies on the top two shelves.

That's Dubai roaches in the bottom shelf just keeping out of the way

 

[debbie_baby1]

have you used one length of heat cable for the whole rack ? and then just plug that into the stat ?

 

[violentchopper]

I've used 2x 12m heat cable and 2 pulse stats

 

[Vern26]

I am going to have to get me one of these.

Ive just had a guy make and fit a tidy rack for my van and he's making a number of boxes that will fit 2 of the 12" cube exo's with hoods for dispalys that i do, so im thinking although i like the pax rack i might get him to make something instead. Least this thread has be thinking. cheers guys.

I reckon with a good chippie you will make the same thing for real cheap. Even without a chippie you can make it cheaper. Good luck mate. Post some pics up when you do.

Looks good, given me something to think about.

Did your total cost include the tubs or not ?

I think I payed about £150 for the rack and 4 packs of 2 x shelves. That's including delivery which was £30.
tbh honest 50l RUBs are about £13, I always buy them from Argos cause it usually cheaper then ordering them online and pay delivery. I would always buy reptile stuff from Surrey reptile supplies cause they are really cheap. Also 888 reptiles which are a bit more expensive but their customer services are great in my experience. I payed for a hoverbator and cause they were out of stock and were not gonna get any more for a few months, they gave me the Exo terra incubator, 2 hatchling boxes and a big bag of vermiculite. Also they sorted me out a decent looking normal royal for a good price.
Just remember the bottom of the rack can be used as a shelf

How did you make the groves for the heat cable? :2thumb:
