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.

Building a snake rack
I have a question about building a snake rack we are using plastic tubs to put the snakes in my question is do you put the lids on the tubs or keep them off? We are having a problem deciding which is the best way to do this and what the benifits are to either way.

I personally prefer lids off. Not sure if you are familiar with Clay Davenport's site, but he has a great step by step tutorial (with pics) on his site. There is a ton of great info all across his site. Clay is definitely one the great guys in the herp community.

Ditto!
These are the same plans I used to build my rack only I made mine 6' tall. It works great.

The corns will do fine with back heat, the balls will do better with belly heat.
I, apparently, am the misfit...I use the lids. I made that choice for two reasons - 1) I made my racks out of melamine (think moisture damage and cleaning issues), and 2) for much of my time in this hobby, I dealt with fairly aggressive animals. Having the box open as soon as it slides out is not the best idea when the animal contained within wants to eat your face. Granted, I don't have anything particularly aggressive now, but old habits and mindsets die hard.
