Since i have a massive case of ADHD, I forgot to begin taking pictures from the beginning... and then then the phone began to die so i only got one pic... But i guess you'll get the point. lol

I finally started building a rack. Its coming a long quite well, All i have left is to finish the top (6th) tier and wire in flexwatt. I am also enclosing the back to add more stability and to keep the tubs from jumping out the back or creating areas for the geckos to escape.

Heres the only pic!! More will come, i promise.

looks good!

Only thing that kept me from going with the metal is that i wanted to be able to just slide the bins out without having to open lids. Thats my only reason for going with the carpentry lol.

i wanted to go with the carpentry but i like you have such a prob with ADHD that I dont think it would ever have gotten done so home depot metal shelves had to be it, lol the flexwatt took the longest to get situated and dialing in the helix thermostat, other than that it was smokin fast, but on the inside i really wanted a good home made rack, well oh well

I would like to see what yours looks like when done, keep us updated

Hey i got a few questions. How big are your tubs and where did you get them? The other one was where do you get the heat tape and last what are you holding in them?

I used the 15 quart rubbermaid clever store containers. I bought them at walmart, but target also has them. The flexwatt was bought from beanfarm.com, but all sorts of online vendors carry it as well. This particular rack is currently holding adult leopard geckos. Hope this helped!
