I dont have a complete rack yet.I just have the base level,and am buying a level at a time.So I only have 2 levels.But I bought the grey tubs with built in water bowl.Figured if the grey tubs would add to the security of the snakes.And the disposable water bowl system makes cage cleaning faster.On the bottom i have the 6" heat tape with the E-series upgrade.Its all on a helix dbs1000 thermostat and holds temperature perfectly.If you want more humidity you would have to block off some of the holes.My rack is exactly the way it was shipped, and i dont get perfect sheds with it.I usually have to soak the snakes in shallow water to get the shed off.I use the substrate aspen bedding.And other than the sheds not being perfect,I have bred my ball pythons in these cages.My 1st female to drop laid 10 fertile eggs.And i got another female whos timing is off that still hasnt dropped yet but is going to.I like the ease of cleaning just pull the tub out turn it upside down into a trash can.Then wipe it down good throw in a disposable water dish and done.Im switching all my cages to ARS.Just have to do it at a pace i can afford.And like the other guys said Brian is really a customer friendly guy.
