We built these last summer. We used 3/4" plywood and they were a pain to build. Good luck with your project.

thats cool. how are you heating them? what is your locking system?

The back have shelves under the floor of the tank. We placed 18x18" Kane heat mats on one side. We have all the mats connected to one Big Apple Thermostat. Works great for us. We bought showcase locks from Home Depot. Cheap and more importantly, effective. Thanks for the comments.

Here is a pic of my hatchling rack that I made from melamine shelving. More specifics in the cage forum.
Good luck!
Sometimes it might be easier to just buy a cage or rack unless you have the proper tools and time on your hands. I had a lot of scrap wood so it was cheap!
