I would like to know how everyone likes the standard Freedom Breeder racks for adult boas. I have heard great things about them and how they make maintenance easier. I am interested in your experiences both good and bad. Also what do you think of the heat panels?
Thanks much,
Dan
I also have heard great things, and everyone who uses them seems to like them.
Two points of consideration that I have heard with their use is maintaining a proper heat gradient and humidity levels.
Every breeder I have spoken to that uses them has told me they have a heated room and sometimes use humidifiers to maintain the proper conditions.
Right now I am looking for racks for college (easy to dismantle and transport). In addition to Freedom Breeders you may want to look into Vision Racks and ARSCaging.com
Though for adult boas (over 5ft.) you will probably have to go with Freedom Breeder to house the large animals. The other two seem good for CB-70 bins.
I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but I currently use only Boaphile Plastics cages and I love them for adult boas.
I am just looking for racks to make taking them to and from school easier than lugging a bunch of big cages.
I do not own any of these racks but I am planning to some day and I have asked many questions about them. They definately hold up well and will save you lots of space. People also seem to like feeding from above. I also really like them because they look great. The negative things I've heard are what Chris has already stated. They have a hard time holding humidity. Some people have also had problems keeping the top and bottoms cages they same temp. But this really wouldn't be too much of a problem if you could control the heat and humidity of the entire room. Some other small problems I have heard is that they are a little to short, the grating at the top can cause nose rubbing problems, and sometimes they can deliver quite a shock to you when you touch them. Hope this helps.
