Thanks,

For care of use and safety they can't be beat.

I've used 3 of there racks in the past for 4 years. I had great success with them, raised up my snakes from hatchlings and had my first 3 beautiful clutches all 100% HATCH in 2004.

They work well, but prepared to heat the room there going to be used in, and makesure you plan to keep the room itself at a dedicated 60%-70% humidity.

They are good for dedicated snake rooms, were the whole room must be climate controlled.

They are NO GOOD if you plan to use them in say a room were you sleep.

The need a dedicated snake room period otherwise they WILL NOT WORK well.

The nicest thing about them is that in the summer time you can sometimes open the windows in the room to allow ALL of the snakes some nice fresh air. The open-air system I am sure is good for the animals.

Would covering the screen with plexi help with humidity/temp? It might be easier to retain heat that way.

A friend of mine built a rack system that is REAL tight. Only open in the front 1/4 inch! And Made of aluminum. Light to move around and fits in the door-way real easy.

fresh air in the FB racks...LOL..J/K. I use Boaphile, but will be going to FB because I can't seem to get a real good temp gradient (when the room is 80F or above) in the Boaphile racks.

I love my Boaphiles (6 racks), but I prefer to have the open air racks that FB offers (the more fresh air, the better).
