from Jason's Jungle. They seem to be built well, and I am very close so I don't have to ship. Were there any problems. How about the side heat instead of belly heat?Thank you.

I just got one of his new breeder racks. The one I got has 3 tubs but he also makes one with 5 tubs. I wanted a rack with 3' tubs for large BPs and this rack is perfect.
I had a small amount of damage in shipping but it was on the back of the rack luckily so I can live with it. He told me he has had a lot of problems with FedEx damaging his racks, which is certainly not his fault. He offered to replace the rack but I declined since the damage was minimal. Since you live close by that shouldn't be a problem though.
I ordered mine with back heat and it works pretty well, I got a dimmer switch and was able to get the heat just perfect. The 11" heat tape gets up to 130 degrees so make sure you get some kind of control! I checked the temps out throughly for a day before I put the snakes in there.
One thing to consider, the breeder racks are kind of heavy. My 3 tub rack was 65LBs. They are very sturdy though!
One last thing, the tubs are included! I don't think he mentions that on the website, or if he does I missed it. Overall I am very happy with my rack and my snakes seem happy as well. They are feeding good, even my problem feeder. They are priced great and very well made. Hope this helps!

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

I use only racks made by Jason's Jungle for all of my 50 Ball Pythons. I have about all the differant sizes he makes, and they all work great. I hear alot of people talk about belly heat versus back heat. I actually like the back heat, the back of my racks are nice and warm at about 92, but in the front they get down to about room temp. With this kind of heat gradient, my animals have been better feeders, and I think the awesome results will continue into this breeding season. Also Jason has designed some "custom" racks for me which have been just as nice as all the others, and priced GREAT. Also if you get a chance to go to his place, he will show you MANY racks that he uses, and he even let me watch him make mine, it was very cool. Anyway, I know this is getting long, and I don't want to sound cheesy, but I really do love my racks from Jason's Jungle and would recommend them highly.
