Hi Jason,



I didn't scroll down to check it out but I think you were asking about a rack system for snakes. The ones I built were identical to the one at Mark's site (www.ballpython.ca). This rack breeds eating machines!!! My 341g ball I bought on July 6/03 is now (after 5 rat pups in 10 days) 544g!!! My adult female I bought as a "problem feeder" (live only) will take EVERY TIME offered, and I offer every 2 to 4 days (130g F/T Rat).



2x4's and other structual woods are not good to use. Anything made of pine is toxic to your snake. Why chance it. 2x4's are pine. Use malmite or plywood with a good coating. As for drawings, I drew my own on AutoCAD, if you want you can have a copy. (ne one for that matter, just email me). There are companies that have drawings for you but they charge you money. I don't. You will need a drawing program to open the file though.



I whole heartedly endorse this rack since it is cheap to heat (5' of 11" wide flexwatt heat tape w/ thermostat), cheap to build (less then $100 CAD in materials, not including heat tape or thermostat), space saving since I have 20 animals on a 4 square foot surface area. On top of it, like I said the snakes won't stop eating



Hope this helps,



Dave
