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.

Dragons4you vs. Reptile basics rack
Hi All,
I'm planning on moving my small rosy boa collection to a rack and was hoping to get some feedback on the two racks I'm considering.
First option, the Dragons4you, ABS, 15/30Q combo rack (see it here: http://www.dragons4you.net/combo_page.html). PROS - I like the flexible tub options, shorter height, and the price is nice ($230 with heat tape added). CONS/? - I'm not sure of the material, never used ABS before, and I've seen some mixed reviews of Dragons4You on the BOI.
Second option is the Reptile Basics, Iris Sweaterbox rack (see it here: http://www.reptilebasics.com/iris-sw...y-or-back-heat). PROS - I've seen a lot of positive feedback on Reptile basics on the BOI, four shelves instead of 3. CONS - more expensive ($299 with belly heat option), taller, one size tubs and extra cost for tub dividers ($8.75 ea.).
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Ethan

RBI all the way, personally. I own two ( was selling one, but decided not to!) They are great racks. Sturdy construction and i got mine very quickly when i ordered. The dividers are great for small stuff like baby bps and such!

I make racks professionally - but that's not why I'm writing here - I want to see you get the right product for your needs. The brand matters less than the material being used. ABS plastic is hard and brittle and will crack and split with age. PVC is the much preferred plastic used for cages. RBI, Animal plastics, mine, C-serpents, and a few others use that material. The next important thing to think about now that you've narrowed it down to going with a builder using PVC is the quality and thickness of the material. I personally use 1/2" as to do AP, and C-serpents. RBI does a great job using 3/8 but personally I don't care for cutting corners. The other two factors are I consider are customer service and turn around time. You need to be comfortable with the person you are buying from, and see what other people say about them, maybe see a few examples. Turn around time is a factor depending on your needs. Most rack builders can get racks out in a few days, some take a few weeks (that's where I'm at right now) and some take months upon months without telling you a single word about your rack's progress toward completion and delivery.
Its a big investment in your collection, one not to take lightly.
If you have any questions feel free to message me or visit my facebook page, I'll be happy to answer any questions I can.
