    What Size Tubs, Hides, and Can Someone Give Me a Link on Building Racks?

    Okay, I'm probably the worst person I know when it comes to construction. The only thing I've ever built is a birdhouse out of popsicle sticks and glue.

    So, I was wondering if anyone can give me threads on how to build a specific rack for a specific type of tub. Like, step by step instruction on that tub size, so I can just hand this to the Lowes worker and say, "This is what I need."

    Anyways, I need to house tons of species, but have no idea what is a humane rack size. I'm currently on the path to making racks that house four foot tubs, which is going horribly to my own devices.

    Here are my general species that I need tub sizes for. Also, could you please give me an exact brand, since one brand's 41 quart is different than the other:

    Boa Constrictors
    Ball Pythons
    Milk Snakes
    King Snakes
    Kenyan Sand Boas
    Random Rat Snakes
    Other Common Colubrids

    I'm planning on getting the supplies today, so a fast reply would be amazing! Thanks!

    You can read through these instructions to get an idea as to how a rack should be built. You would need to choose the tubs you want to use and just use the system depicted in the article.

    Sadly, I'm so bad at construction that making my own measurements would be to difficult

    All the plans I've seen are usually for 32 quarts, which I have no idea what will house, and sound a bit small.

    You can always hire someone in your area to build them!
