OK, I have not build 1 herp rack yet. But I have 100's of pics for reference. Someone made a rack with no lids, but the top shelf had 1/2 screen to view the critters.



I want to make a rack for my upcoming hognose collection as I should have at least 8 females up to breed next year.



Sorry I do not have the size tubs I use. I get them at walmart, about 5" tall, 16" wide and 30"s long. I use lids now, as they are on a wire rack shelf.



My idea id to add a plastic hinge in the lid. I can pull the cage 1/2 out and lift and look inside, or even add screen to just look. I can also pull a cage and not have to worry about a snake come flying out. I have 2 large females that are INSANE. 1 actually seems to constrict and do a croc death roll. I've been nailed by her at least 10 times. No ill effects.



But I think it is a nice combo with the best of both features. A covered lid if that's what I need, or a slide out and peek, and change or check water etc..
