Ok I now have 9 balls 2 are babies the rest range abouth 2ft. I was thinking of trying to build a rack, my issue is size of tubs I want to just for now build one rack but i want it to be able to house into adult hood. Im hearing that large tubs stress balls but I only have 9 balls right now and dont want to have to build medium and large racks. I was also wondering if I can just get one of those industrial shelves that people put in the garage, attach pegboard to the back with some heat tape running down the back and just stack the rubbermaids with lids on. Would this work does anyone else house snakes without racks? Once my stock gets up then I can build a rack or catch a deal on a local sale for a good rack. Thanks to all for your help

I've used a similar set up for quarantine and it will work for temporary housing, I wouldn't recommend it for permanent tho. I found it to be a pain in the a$$. I ended up enclosing most of it anyway to maintain good temps, lessen the stress on the snakes and well then theres the escape attempts that occured by not having the snakes on lock down. One thing that I've done with some of my smaller snakes in larger tubs is put a whole bunch of stuff (hides, fake plants, rocks, etc) in their tubs to make is seem smaller and cozier. Just some thoughts.
