    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

CB70 Ball Python Racks - Constructed of lightweight extruded 1" anodized aluminum and vented PVC. Rack features two inch easy roll casters, partially ventilated PVC tops for better humidity control, all aluminum rust-free construction, and 11" Flexwatt back heat. Racks can easily be fully enclosed if desired. Simply slide your choice of material in either side to enclose your rack system. Racks utilize the Iris CB70 tubs, excellent for housing Ball Pythons or other small pythons / boas. The rack allows for 10 CB70 tubs. Dimensions are 72" high x 19.75" wide x 33.50" deep. $650 for a ten level rack with heat and tubs. Racks come fully assembled, so shipping must be done via truck freight or local p/u in Michigan can be arranged. You can also view other items available at our website...www.sentecreptilecages.com

I am very inpressed with the quality of your rack and the price you ask. Does the rack come with the tubs? Also do the tubs slide out the wide way or in the front the long ways?

From the first set of pics, the channels are along the long side of the tub (so those are at the sides).

Definitely a nice looking unit!! :thumbsup:

The rack does come with the tubs and they slide out from the front(long way)

Thanks,

Wow! I wish I would have seen that before we got our last rack. :eek:

Hopefully you are still making them this fall when we look at additional replacement of some of our Melamine racks. (got to sell babies once they hatch and make a little before investing more than we already have into our reptiles and rodents.)

Just not sure about the back heat. I have always used belly heat, but heard some people swear by back heat. Can this rack be changed to belly heat?
 
Eric how hard would it be to make these belly heat? You wil be in Taylor right? I will talk to you there a bit,
 
I also been talking to Eric about the racks, thinking about getting a few. He told me he can place panels on each side of the rack to help get your desired temps. If he can do belly heat that might be a great Idea also. I think it might cost allittle more for the additional cords and clips etc and power strip that can take 10 plugs.

These look like nice racks for a good price. But, how will the back heat work with the ventilated top? How can you create a hot spot when the hot air will rise right through the top?

Adding belly heat to these racks would definitely increase the cost. I have been using these racks for over a year now and have had no problems maintaining a hot spot at the rear of the tubs. The tops are only ventilated towards the front of the rack, allowing for better heat control and humidity control. I will be at Taylor, MI reptile show and the racks will be on display along with some of our cages. Any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric
 
Hi Eric,
I'm interested in your racks here's my ? you said you been using them over a year now.. how does the rim of the tub the part that slides on the rail wear down? ( like do the tubs slide looser the longer the tub keep sliding in and out) just trying to figure out where the wear and tear comes in to play...Thanks Robert

Robert - To be honest, I really haven't noticed any significant wear on the tubs due to sliding in the aluminum channel. Of course, I am only housing ball pythons in them and there is not a tremendous amount of weight in them. I have been very happy with the performance of the tubs and the overall design of the rack itself.

Thanks,
Eric
