trying to decide what kind of rack to use for my 1.2 eastern kings that are growing like weeds. I found one 3 tub rack with 11 inch heat tape and it sounds good but would 33 1/2 x 17 1/2 x 5 1/2 be enough it the male hit 5 ft plus? Thanks

YES, you should be fine with those. (Len Krysko used smaller containers than that and was quite successful in breeding). I use 36" x 21" x 6" for all my large (4.5-5 foot) adults (they cost 10 bucks a piece at Home Depot and they're VERY easy too clean - no ripples or trenches in the bottom of the containers). For my HUGE adults: 5.5 foot - 6 foot plus I use 36" slide fronts, which are a 18" wide and 16" tall.
Kings don't need that much room - Of course if you had Indigos you would need a much bigger cage. My Indigo has a 5 foot long cage and I think he's outgrowing it already, lol (he's OVER 6 foot already and only 2 years old!)
