Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your reply. No, not just ball pythons. My daughter inherited a pair, and well, now that my wife is ok with reptiles I'm going to go back at it.

I'm not worried much about the cost of building, for what we want racks are just tacky. I've built more racks, rooms, and incubators than I care to remember. I'm building a display case, and this isn't a breeding setup, as a family we won't be exceeding 10 animals. I prefer something that appears classy.

I'm am worried about the issues associated with building materials, and the problems that arise from building singe unit display cages. i.e. the bottom units tend to heat the top, so sometimes an extra heater on top is actual overkill, or melamine vapors under heat (improperly cured before sale).

So I'm curious to know what works best for people; especially, people from the Northwest.

It's not going to be moved very often, locking wheels on casters will be just fine.

I also don't have a room where I can afford to keep the ambient temperature in the seventies year round which is also why I'm gravitating towards a beefier setup.
