I know i told you to put a screw in each corner of the pegboard. I had to put more screws down the sides as well. It was a little shakey till i put more screws in the back.

I heard different things about the rack you are talking about. If a heavy snakes is in the tubs it can cause the tub to come out of the runners and fall to the next shelf. not a long way to fall but the animal can escape. Keep this in mind when you decide to build.





>>I built it per YOUR plans

>>Not saying I don't like it, I am just going to goa differeny routw with my next one. Which will be 11 tubs high and 4 tubs wide....44 tubs. Can't wait to get it up and started.

>>

>>>>The plan for 10 slots is 1 single unit not 2 stacked on one another. If there is a problem with it swaying side to side the back needs to be reinforced.Put more screws in the peg board on the side pieces of the rack.

>>>>>>I wouldn't stack them 2 high. After using this one, it's a little swayish (is that a word??) It moves a little bit.

>>>>>>I would find a way to make it more stable.

>>>>>>I am in the process of making some racks like the ones seen on RTH Rain Tree Herp It's not enclosed, but I heat with Flexwatt for a hot spot and with a electric heater for ambient air.
