Hi. I'm looking for the web address for the guy that has instruction for making colubrid racks. I believe his name is Dwight Good.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Frank,

I just e-mailed you through your profile about an hour ago. I had just seen your post below and figured it was too burried to make it worth posting.

I'll post the links for general use and in case you did not get them. Sorry, you'll have to copy and paste the links.

I build my racks upside down as pictured in this hatchling rack:

But I don't use the boxes as spacers. Instead I cut spacers from melamine as pictured in this link:

And this is how you use the spacers to build the rack:

But keep in mind I build my racks upside down. I just install the first shelf flush with the top of the sides and then flip it over. From there I use both melamine spacers to set the next shelf. Once that's screwed in I pull the spacers and place them on the shelf I just set. And so on, and so on.

Here's some more rack building information from the same site:

And here's Dwight Good's do-it-yourself page:
