ARS OR FREEDOM BREEDER RACKS?

[Ballpythonsnakes]

I've been using vision racks for about 3 years, before that it was DIY home made racks. I want to upgrade and I'm in a toss between ARS and Freedom Breeder racks. What are some Pros and Cons? What company would you go with and why?
Thanks Russ

ars. the freedom breeders have a lot of sharp edges that i cut my knuckles on. i like my ars 7030 a lot. i like the tubs even more with the deli cup holder. something else i have been trying are the sentec racks with ars tubs. they hold humidity a ton better, the compromise is they do not have belly heat.

the only negative thing i can say about my ars is the tubs rub on the rail beneath them and in less than six months the paint is worn heavily from the tubs scraping. just a little too tight of tolerance.

go with freedom breeder since they are closer. Both racks are very simular. The freedom breeder tubs are dark grey now so they act as a hide. The built in water bowls are molded in so you can stack tubs if you keeps extras like I do. The ars unless they have changed them are flat and will not allow you to stack them. The freedom breeder edges are sharp and will scrape the tubs but a couple minutes with some pliers and you can bend the edges down. I think I heard freedom breeder was also playing with built in hides, but its not needed in the dark tubs. I am switching all of my other racks to feddom breeder. If youd like to buy a higher end snake from me it will help that process

We use ARS and I really like it. No complaints after using it for a year. I've never owned a freedom breeder, so no input on that one.

I agree... Freedom Breeder now bends the edges so that's no longer a problem

I like my ARS racks. Also the customer service I got brought me back when the time came for 3 tier show displays and frozen rodents.

Are you only choosing between those two companies?

They seem to make the heavy duty quality rack style im looking for, but if you have any suggestions im all ears...

I haven't used ars but I've used freedom breeder for about 6 years now (along with others like neodesha) and I love them. I honestly have no complaints what so ever.
