Thanks you for the warm welcome and for sharinf your insights and experiences Rich. I have finally come to realization that I am hooked on snakes, the same realization that my wife came to the second she saw me handle our first snake (a northern pine, generic).

I am very much wanting to make sure that as the snakes gain size and the collection grows that we are not scrambling to try and keep up, and therefor possibly jepordizing the quality of care we give our animals and that which they deserve.

I have been to a couple of websites that sell rack systems and was blown away by the prices... which led me to doing this research and I have come across several ways in which to make racks for everything from hatchlings to large pits etc... many of them holding numerous tubs and all for less than 100.00us...

I am also looking into double redundancy for thermostats as I have heard of horror stories of even the most sophisticated systems failing. So heating is my primary concern as the actuall building of the racks and the supllies involved are both easy and relitivley in-expensive.

So in closing I am learning the ins and outs of this great hobby and of those wonderful creatures I keep and making friends as well which to me makes a person far wealthier than money. I appreciate what you have brought to these forums and hope to continue to learn here and from the many great people on these forums.
