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.

Which rack to buy?
I need a blanket box rack ASAP.
I have looked into the Boaphile ones and like the extra lip on the front but I have heard som negative reviews on it. I also inquired on the one by Natures Spirits but would like feedback from someone who has the rack.
I want to buy the best plastic rack I can but I have certain things that it must do.
1. No big temp difference from bottom to top drawer.
2. No rack that will burst into flames if the thermostat fails.
3. No exposed wiring.
4. No sagging.
5. No sticking drawers.
Can anyone recommend a rack and give me the reasons why you are recommending it? I would like to order within the next week.
Thanks.

Shameless plug: Also consider Animal Plastics.
I know many people (myself included) use their products and are very happy with them. That is the only reason that I sell them.
As I sell them, I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to say much beyond that it is another option I believe you should look into that will fit your criteria quite well.

The Boaphile racks have been so called "updated". They were having some problems like you stated, thus getting bad reviews. I would HIGHLY recommend Boaphile racks because if there is ever a problem Jeff or one of the guys there at the facility will address it ASAP! Now that's a guarantee.

I have some of the racks from Animal Plastics and I like them a lot. They are very durable and sturdy, the heating element works great and they look fantastic as well! My geckos are thriving in these racks and if we had the money we would be converting from the old melamine Matrix racks to Animal Plastics racks right now! I highly recommend them.

So this routered cord works well?
Do you have back heat or belly heat on the racks?
I am kinda leaning towards the Animal Plastics ones because it looks like they are raised from the floor unlike others where the last tub sits on the floor.
BTW, very nice geckos.

Animal Plastics Racks are Great!
I have a blanket box rack from them... works great with back heat for my sub adult ball pythons and geckos. I will also be housing my western hogs in these blanket box racks.
I also have a baby rack from them... takes 27 rubbermaid shoebox's and is heated from the back. I'm very happy with it as well.
And yes they are raised about 4 inches off the ground, a nice touch.

www.raintreeherp.com
offers a CD so you can build a rack. The CD does EVERYTHING, except drill the holes. Very helpful, and well worth the
. $20.
Hope this helps a bit!
