Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Any plans for a rack that will hold bloods?
Does anyone have any plans for a rack system that will hold an adult blood python?

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:
http://arbreptiles.com/cages/iris_rack/iris_rack.shtml
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".
