My numbers were based on belly heat.

From the PMHerps site:

These Rack Systems are...

Constructed from high impact plastic, Lightweight, yet very sturdy. .
Many are a Modular design, start small, expand later... easy to clean…
3” or 4” Flexwatt (you supply) can be threaded inside each shelf so boxes won’t snag…
Available in kit form for low shipping costs, very easy assembly..


That indicates belly heat and possible assembly required

so, my basic calculations:

2 racks $320 each or $640
100ish feet of flexwatt at $2.60 or $260

just those two get you to $900

Now add shipping both for the racks and the flexwatt, and some incidentals like two power cords, maybe some aluminum tape etc and I can easily see it getting somewhere near $1000 for two.


It's all a moot point since Nick doesn't want heat which makes yours and other racks without heat much more cost effective.
