Jimmy,
Read my post.. I said it depends on the humidty, spilled water dishes, etc.

OF COURSE IF YOU KEEP THEM IN CLIMATE CONTROL and make sure the snakes don't turn over water THEY WON'T SWELL! Or keep a species that does not require much or any water like rosy boas.

I kept melamine in the dryer west coast of Calif and they did not swell. But i also had no water dishes in the tubs, as i kept rosy boas in the units. So watering was once a week at best. I also had them in the main part of the house..But most parts of the country it is humid. Also most snakes in racks are kept in garages and not in a seprate bedroom of the house.

So yes melamime will swell with most normal use.. That is why most people don't use them or they were thrown out and/or discontinued by manufacturers.
