    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....

Had some time on my hands this weekend and put together a new rack for juvies/sub adult carpets. The tub sizes are 25" Long x 16' Wide x 12" High so plenty of height to enjoy the perches. The tubs are Sterilite and I believe they are a new model. They have a handle locking system the is VERY tight so I don't need to retrofit the tubs with any velcro or additional locking systems. See pics below for the type of tub.

Lately, I've been holding back a ton of babies and growing them out so having the next size up on housing is essential for me.

This size would be perfect for 1-2 year old carpets that are not power fed.

I put this together for a fraction of the cost of buying from a reptile supply dealer.

It is more function over form but that is just fine for me!


Cost Breakdown:

Shelving: $70

Heat Tape, wired: $40

Thermostat, Johnson: $75

Dowel Rods for Perches: $15

Tubs: $75


TOTAL: $275.00

Or roughly $28 per unit, not too shabby!
