Re: New Rack

LOL, what did your wife do when she found the snake in her drawers (pun intended, lol)?

I hate those store bought clips... too hard for me to get in and out of the tanks and I've had problems with them cracking the plastic rims. I've weighed mine down with anything handy. I'm moving my garters from a 10 g to a 40 g soonly and I need to hunt down a couple more bricks so it'll look uniform. I think I'll decorate them, too, lol

I had a 3 foot long kingsnake escape from a tank with a storebought lid that was installed correctly. Another time, my wife found a long nosed snake in the underwear drawer(no, I'm not making a joke).
