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.

What do you house your males in?
I'm wanting to expand how many animals I'm going to be growing and working with (just a handful currently) so I'm contemplating changing things up, moving males from enclosures into racks. Not sure though if that is what I want to do really or not.
If I go with racks for males I was thinking about building a rack around the FB90 tub (They are 26 1/2" x 33 1/4" x 7") So not a terribly small size but they aren't huge either. I could also use Iris VE 175 tubs (Christmas tree boxes) that are approximately 52"x21"x14" (I have 11 of them sitting unused at the moment, kinda hoarding them when I see some clearanced).

Babies/juvies in racks.
Young adults in racks with Hefty 52-qt under-bed tubs. You can DIY easily with a lid-on design using a plastic shelving unit, just cut the vertical supports to length so the lid is held in place by the shelf above it. Mine uses 11" wide heat tape covered with a piece of very thin acrylic so it's protected from the tubs sliding.
My adults are in T8's though they would fit fine in the VE-175's, and there are commercial shelving units where you could make a DIY rack easily.

Thanks Tibor and Melinda for the responses.
If I decide to use the VE175 tubs, I've actually modified the tops to have a hinged door on them (only 3 so far). The nice thing about this is the hinged lid is the same height as the rim of the tub lid, so would slide nicely into a rack.

I house adult male in an ARS rack that is about 50" long and 24" wide. It was really expensive but I feel it was worth it because the thing is just so well made. It allows me to fit 6 adult boa constrictors in one stack.

I hope to eventually get some ARS racks down the road, but it'll be one of those things where some neos being sold will help me purchase them.

It's totally worth it once you have the money. I'm never going back to the way I used to keep large constrictors.

Right now 48x24x12" or 48x30x18" AP and ProLine cages. I'd prefer larger, but I think I'm going to end up making the switch to FB racking systems.
