ok- new rack... need opinions...

The rack is for ball pythons...

What do you use? aspen chips, cypress mulch, newspaper, papertowels, what?

I'm wanting convenience but I am also striving for superb temps and humidity.

I also don't want to remove them from thier tubs to feed them- something about me touching a snake after it eats- always makes them regurge- they've always eaten again on the next try but its still scary to have a 1,000$ snake puke on you... and I definatly dont want them impacted...

so what to do....?

what do you use, and if you use something like aspen or cypress mulch- do you feed them in a seperate container or just try your luck... ?

Thanks

Beth

If you don't want to remove the snake for feeding I would recommend just using a sheet of newspaper. With racks you generally aren't worried about aesthetics anyway.
And the sealed up nature of the plastic tubs will help keep humidity up.

thats what I needed to know.

The outside of the rack will look dang good when we're done with it though. crown moulding, stained a nice color, with little individual hanging tags so I know who I put where- it'll be nice. but the inside of the tubs won't really be seen.

You'll have to share a pic of it with us when you're done.

of course!!

As soon as i'm done... we're hopefully going to get started soon- we just have heard so many types of material to use, we're thinking about expanded pvc... seems to be the latest trend, looks good, and is mold resistant...

pics soon!

I am going to build a new rack this spring as well. Can't wait to see yours. I might just have to borrow some ideas!
