ARS caging who uses them and what do you like about them appose to freedom breeders. thinking of getting new racks either ARS,AP,or habitat systems whats your take.

I keep my adults in the ARS 7010 rack with the built in water bowl receptacle tubs. Purchased the upgraded heat panels, a power strip, and a Helix from them as well. I love this rack! It is very easy to put together and holds humidity very well.

I personally use racks from Jason @ Jason's Jungle. I stopped in a saw Brian at ARS last week and got to take a look some of his racks during production. I will say that I was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail. After seeing the ARS racks being produced I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I personally am a huge fan of AP racks. I've got one of the IRIS CB-70 racks (13 high), and then two of the Rubbermaid 2220 racks (11 high) and all three of them are working excellent for me. Another huge bonus is that Mark, owner of AP, is a great guy that gets stuff done and shipped when he says he will.

Highest quality: Habitat Systems
Best for it's style (metal frame): ARS

High Quality enclosed: Boaphile
Quality open (better than metal frame): Vision

I'd rank HS, Boa, Vision, ARS. I like enclosed racks, so that is my reason.

The new Vision Rack System is AWESOME!!! Scott used the Iris CB-70 tray to design his new rack system around. This new system is supported by six steel poles making it extremely rigid. Each level slides down the poles followed by 6 PVC spacers. The length of the spacers determine the space between each level. So any container that fits within the footprint of a CB-70 tray will work on this rack. If you, like so many others, are using CB-70 trays there is not a better rack system out there. The Iris CB-70 tray was never designed to hang from the outer edge of the container. The new Vision Rack System supports the bottom of the entire tray, so there is no sagging or distortion of the tray over time. There is also a new tray from Vision the
V-35 tray. This tray is like cutting a CB-70 in half, hence the name. If you turn the rack sideways you can use two V-35 trays in the CB-70 slot. No metal rail sliding rack can offer that! The V-35 tray is almost the equivalent to a 32qt tray. Now Vision makes their own V-70 tray, it is the same size as the CB-70 but thicker and smooth inside and out.

Hands down, the best racks available. Easy to clean, heat, and very efficient. Not to mention every rack is built ENTIRELY CUSTOM to whatever specs you want.

i own one arboreal rack and plan on getting some for my bps soon. rich at rbi is a great guy, they come fully assembled, and are QUALITY for a reasonable price. i highly suggest you check them out before buying anything else.

I currently use 5 different types of racks that I have acquired over the years. All are nice, but I have added over 20 vision racks during the last year and in my opinion they are tough to beat. Scott and the guys at vision are great to work with and I have recieved 2 separate enhancements to the racks since I purchased them at no charge and without me having to ask! The V70's for adults are great and I absolutely love the hatchling racks!! I am not knocking anyone elses racks, but until something better comes along any new racks I add will be visions.

I use Reptile Basics rack systems. There are several sizes and they are realy nice and hold heat very well. They come with heat and a thermostat and are inexpensive when it comes to other rack systems. They're website is www.reptilebasics.com Rich is a nice guy to work with. Just my 2 cents.
