    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Any plans for a rack that will hold bloods?

Iris CB-110 box

Probably the best box for blood pythons would be the Iris CB-110. I suppose even then there will be females from certain locals that might be snug in something this size. The box itself is about 39"x20"x6" but with the thick rim, reinforced floor and raised feet the inside dimensions are smaller. I think less than 36" x 16" x 5.5". You can e-mail Eric at reptiletubs.com and get the exact measurments if that concerns you.

The only plans I can think of for that box are those posted at:

Otherwise, you can take other racks plans and modify them for the CB-110.
 
I'd be hesitant to keep blood pythons in anything less than a 12" tall cage. if you've ever fed an adult blood a decent sized meal, or seen bloods copulating, you'll quickly understand why this just wouldn't be possible in a 6" tall bin.
 
I agree...

I agree about the height. Big females even when they're not eating or copulating can coil themselves up more than 6". My biggest concern would be when they ovoposit and make themselves into a big mound around their eggs.

I assumed the orginal poster already considered this when considering a rack. I also don't know a lot about bloods and assume there are smaller forms?

Reptiletubs.com also sells that large Xmas tree box. Without the lid that box is a bit under 12". It's a very large box, though. Over 48".
 
Here's what we use for our Bloods and Boas -
