We finally made our rack last night!
It just needs plugging in and the temperatures testing then we can move the guys into it.
We also have 3 spare 50L RUBS now More room for snakes!!!!!!
Only final thing we have to do is a get a 70L RUB for Margwar.
I'll put pictures up when everything is in place.
It holds 14 50L/33L RUBS, one shelf can hold 2 50L's, so we're going to use one to put a 70L on sideways.
As we're using a 9L for a new hatchling we're getting we'll just be sliding that to the back of the rack.
It took us 5 hours to put it all together, that included a trip to B&Q to get some reflective tape.
We did it in a space not much larger than the rack itself.
We managed to burn some wood with the router as well. But after learning to use the router quickly, we discovered that that doesn't burn it.

congatulations, its so much more satisfying when you build things youself. One question though - why do you need a 70 ltr rub for a Royal is that not a little to big?

Royals owned "lots"

It is very satisfying, even with the blood sweat and tears!

Nope, he's been in a 4x1 for all his life and we feel a 70L would be better compared to the 4 foot. Plus we cannot fit both his hides in the 50L and a water bowl.

Just got a few modifications tonight with the heat tape and I can start moving things into it.
