I am considering investing in one, or more, of the Pro Racks Double 30" link: http://www.pro-racks.com

Has anyone had any first hand experience with these? If so, what are your thoughts.

I would be keeping Royal Pythons in them.

I bought one a few weeks back.

Its being sold this week. Never again!

The heatmats didnt give out nearly enough heat and the tubs hold NO humidity, every snake that went in had problems shedding.

In my opinion they will only work if you have the rack in a purposely heated and humid room.

Mine was indoors and it wasnt cold at all, but I found it to not work well at all.

Just my 50p worth Smile

racks need to be bought to suit the need. Professionals tend to use pro-racks and love them.
ask lots of questions and talk to people who use them to make sure that they are exactly what you need.
It is obvious that a very well ventilated box will not keep humidity and temp simply run off a heatmat if the background temp is too low.
From what I have been told the hobbyist rack can be vented to your requirements.
There is plenty of choice, pro-racks, winracks and peterf is shipping in the vision racks Laughing

hope gives us all food for thought.
