I'm starting to look into building a rack for large boids. By large boids I mean adult female boas for the most part. After the second time I rebuilt my first rack it came out pretty nice (aside from one juvenile kingsnake escape) and I'm ready for round two, or three depending on how you want to look at it. I have a closet in the room I can use but I don't think I want to do cage style enclosures. I'd rather go with some big tubs. So who's got one that I can see and what number tubs do you have in it? By the way, Chris, if you read this, how did the vinyl hold up for you? Still going strong for me.

By the way, Chris, if you read this, how did the vinyl hold up for you? Still going strong for me.

The project I purchased the vinyl for was put on hold. Nothing to do with the vinyl. I did put a test piece on some scrap melamine and I am very impressed with it. No doubt this stuff blows contact paper away, regardless of cost. The fact that the vinyl is cheaper in bulk is just an added bonus, IMO.

Regarding your rack, the only big box I know of is that Xmas tree storage box sold by Reptiletubs.com.

Great guys, great company.

That's perfect! The only thing I don't like is it looks like no light gets thru at all. Not even opaque, just solid. So if that's the case, how can I use those and let light in?

That box comes in both semi-clear and solid green. Just tell Eric you want the semi-clear ones.

Tell him Chris Harper sent you and says hi.
