I've noticed there has been several post lately regarding building your own snake rack or buying one, so I thought I'd post a picture of ours. My room mate and I built this using 3/4" melamine. It took 2 sheets of 4' x 8'. Plus the heat tape and ECU temperature controller we ordered from BoasAndBalls.com. Total cost was just a hair under 200 bucks for everything.
As you can see, we're only using the top 2 shelves so far. It'll hold 28 babies or 14 adults.
I definitely do not consider myself a carpenter at all, but this was relatively simple to build. It takes up 1/5 the space as our aquariums did, and will easily hold 5 times the amount of snakes.
