New setup?

Might be making a big move soon and not sure if the place we're moving to will accept reptiles. Currently we have 2 10 gal tanks (2 girls in each) and 1 30 gal tank (with 4 girls). I think it'd be a bit much walking into someone basement (which we'll be renting) with all of our critters. I was looking at some creative ways to keep them in a shelving type unit. or a rolling cart with drawers. I've seen similar things for sale on here. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use that is also cost effective? Also, I dont' want whatever I use to heat the unit to melt the plastic... any suggestions on that too?

Hopefully this made sense!

I built a "snake" rack which is currently housing my snakes and my geckos. I bought one of the metal and wood shelving units from home depot, the shelves are 4 ft. long and 2 ft. deep and the unit holds 5 shelves which can be placed anywhere and the unit is 6 ft. tall. I used heat cable to heat and I am using a Helix thermostat.
