Anyone know who sell a good rack system?

Thanks for the help

Well-constructed, light weight, inexpensive -- the perfect rack system.

I purchased a Jason's Jungle Rack about 2 months ago and love it. It is relatively inexpensive and works great. Plus, Jason is a wonderful guy. Met him and his family at a show and they are just great people. Haven't used any other rack systems but why would I? I plan to get another rack from him soon.

Thanks, I gave them a call today. Waiting for them to get back so I can talk to them.

Thanks again

Nature Spirit Reptiles (nsreptiles.com) Just picked my new one up from them yesterday. Light enough for even me to pick up (I have a bad back) and the heat is already installed.

Yeah. Same with Jason's Jungle racks. Very nice units. Haven't seen the Nature Spirit rack, though.

I'm happy with the one I picked up yesterday, and will probably buy another couple from Casey. Since I was going to be up in the area for the holidays, Casey put a rush to get mine done for pickup. When I finally made it up there after the winter storm, Casey gave me a tour of the workshop and his snake rooms. Give their website a look-see I am glad I did.

Habitat systems has great racks that last forever.

I think Jason's Jungle has a better rack and with better prices and shipping.

Thanks for the help, I'll keep my eyes open.

I have a rack from Jason's Jungle and a Boaphile Ball Room rack and the Boaphile is vastly superior. The Boaphile arrived perfect and all I had to do was plug it in. With Jason's I had to drill holes in the tubs(the Boaphile has perfect spacing for air) and the tubs fit tight, the top tub I have to fight with to get it in or out. The Boaphile tubs slide in and out easily. Plus Jason's had a cracked plastic panel in the back when it arrived. Jason seems nice and all but the Boaphile's quality won me over.

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

I would put holes in the tubs, stagnent air equals unhealthy conditions that may take a long time to develope.

I was told by the people at Boaphile that they don't needs holes because they have a big enough gap to allow fresh air.

I always put holes in the front & back regardless of how much space is between the tub & rack shelf. I have had snakes get severe respiratory infections from not enough air & too much humidity. IMO, you can never have too much fresh air & some of my tubs in the Boaphile racks have little to no space between the top of the tub & the shelf, and they would tend to build up heat, not providing the temperature gradient I prefer.

I guess that is sound advice.
