Hello Jake,

I'm not exactly sure what kind of racks you are looking to build, but we have a Small Boa Rack building tutorial available on our website.

This rack uses tubs made by Gracious Living. You should be able to get the tubs from ReptileTubs.com. I do not believe they are listed on Eric's website but if you call or email him, I think he stocks them. We also recently saw them at Home Depot so you might want to check your local HD.

The tubs are 36" x 22" x 5" and are great for growing babies up in. You can also house small adult males comfortably in the rack. It's too small for good sized females though. When our young Boas get to be about 2 1/2 feet long, we try to move them into this rack. We find that once we move them over to the larger tubs, they seem to grow extremely well.

It's a fairly easy rack to build and the most expensive thing about it are the tubs although I believe Home Depot had them in packs of 2 for around $20. So you are looking at roughly $10 per tub. I'm not sure how much they are from ReptileTubs.com though. And if you don't have a heated reptile room to put the rack in, you'll have to wire it up with FlexWatt which is how we have ours set up. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

p.s. Nice looking boas!

Celia
