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.

Question About Boaphile Rhinoraxx
I just got a 15 drawer Rinoraxx from Boaphile. I'm keeping Leopard Geckos in the drawers. The drawers do not have any air holes in them. Is this okay? Or, should I be putting holes for circulation?
Thanks for your help.

There is a very small gap between the top of the tubs and the bottom of the shelf, but I still put LOTS of holes around all sides of the tubs. I find that having more holes (especially toward the front) increases the temperature gradient from one end to the other.

I think you should leave them the way they are..... Do not add air holes..... The gap in the top is more than enough..... I have the same rack system and it is great without any modifications.....

Okay, I don't have these racks, but maybe I could pose a couple questions that may help you decide. I did have the older boaphile racks, which flexed a little, so didn't leave a gap for air. My favorite melamine rack does have a 1/8" or so gap, so I probably don't need any holes, but I have them anyway.
Do you find humidity building up in the tubs since there aren't any holes? If so, do you think there is a possibility of mold/mildew growing due to the lack of air circulation? What are the temps in the tubs? Paul mentions a better temp gradient with the holes - do you have issues with temps?
Personally, I think it's always better, especially with animals that don't need really humid environments, to have a bit more airflow.

Okay, here is a pic of the rack. There is a small gap at the top. Some days there is some condensation.

Dang - that is one good looking rack! I don't think there is anything out there on the market that touches them on fit and finish!
Wow.
Personally - I would call up Jeff Ronne, and ask him. I would imagine that he would have a good answer for you.
If I put any holes in them - I would put them on the sides, not in the front.
Again - WOW - great looking rack . . .
