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.

tanks or racks?
I have some of my BP's in tanks and tubs but I was thinking of switching my geckos from my racks and putting the snakes in the racks. Which is better?

It's a lot easier to control your temps and humidity in racks, and most of my snakes started eating better in racks. I would say racks all the way.

I agree with Travis the ability to maintain a collection is much easier in a rack system, but is really depends on how you enjoy the hobby. If you have a really small collection (say 4 or less?) and like to show them off I'd say tanks. On the other hand if you have a growing collection or plan to, I'd go rack. It just make life easier (cleaning, temps, feeding, etc).
I have a rack system for 7, getting more soon so the need to condense the space needed for the animals is a must for me. I do miss seeing one in my bedroom at night thow =\
plus in the long run, its cheaper to go rack

Hey Christina,
like the guys said, it is a matter of preference while you only have a couple. The rack is a much better way to keep multiple snakes. You can not stack tanks which makes space an issue. Plus if you look at the cost of all those uth and thermostats compared to a heat cable and one thermostat. I would recommend vision racks to anyone small that needs one. They last longer and can be converted to different sizes. By adjusting spacer size you can use it for a baby rack, 35 quart or 70 quart tubs. I use one for my quarantine rack so that it does all sizes. The wood type are good in the fact that they keep it darker for the snake therefore not requiring need for a hide. I LOVE my freedom breeder racks, but they are pricey for any size other than 70 quart. That is the one downfall to Freedom Breeder, Vision has so many holes that you must mist and keep water in the bowls at all times because humidity is a problem. Wood racks do good for humidity, but that causes them to warp and have a shorter lifespan. Really look at where you want to go with your snakes and then decide from there.

I had my leos in the same rack as my bps. This went well but due to spacing I have move my leos to tanks.
