This is a short video explaining a little bit about how we set-up out hatchling racks at our facility. I've been designing and building these custom racks for the past 3 months, and I'm excited to be able to share them with you!

**Video Building Tutorial (with plans) COMING SOON!!

Thanks for viewing!

  • Does the heat cable provide enough heat? i feel like 3 inch flexwat would work much better. Not trying to criticize or anything just curious.

  • @twillis10 That's actually a great question! I use heat cable because I live in California... it's usually at least 75 degrees year around, and the heat tape heats up the reptile room way too much. The cable is actually safer, imo, because if it goes out or stops working it simply turns off.... it's doesn't overheat and melt like the heat tape.

    Many large scale breeders use heat cable, but it seems more popular with gecko keepers than snake keepers for the most part.

  • Thats really awesome. My dad is trying to build me a rack right now and I think this video will help.

    Will you be showing any adult racks in your videos?

  • @zombietronn Glad you enjoyed the video! It took us weeks to come up with the design... it takes about 2 full days (16 hours) to cut and router all the pieces for 2 units. I plan on showing off some of my custom built adult racks in another video soon!
