My weekend project! (first rack)

Well, it didn't turn out too bad for my first time! Based it on Markus Jayne Reptiles design. Still have to put the trim on, but just had to show it off! Should keep my blood python and my son's Dumeril's boa happy for a while. But that empty third tub is troubling me!

Oh. my god. That is sweet. I like the way you modified the designs. Looks like a lot of folk (me included) have taken the markus machine and modified to our own needs. Markus is a great man! People should by snakes from him.

I also built a rack that is a mod of the markus Mandic machine. I don't have a pic of the final product but just imagine the pic I show with the bottom shelves being 36 inches long. (I have 5 top 24 inch shelves, and the bottom two are 36 inches). What I mean is I have a seven shelve rack. The top five is 24 inches long. The bottome two are 36 inches long (just like the markus machine). The 36 inches long shelves also have side covers in such a way that only six inches of the tub is exposed on the sides (just like the markus machine).

I will take some pics of the new set up, but in the mean time, please just use your imagination:
