Rack v. Vivarium?

[Seere121]

I guess the real answer is whatever is on sale.

Exactly! A few weeks ago I went to the home depot to see if they had any non-cedar mulch that would work. It would have been awesome at the $5 or so they wanted for 50lb sacks, but all of the varieties they had, had at least some cedar in it.

I have to get back over to the local petco, they had 3 bags of hardwood shavings in the discount bin for $5 each.

never had racks, so I can't speak from experience
but I do feel that more space is better
somebody I'd met thought it crazy that I give my five foot king a 6'x2' enclosure, but he does use that full length sometimes and I wish I could give him more, and he's not even a garter
I always wish I could give them more
and I love seeing them

You are better than I drache! My four other snakes apart from my Gopher and Garters are in racks. In my defense though, I keep them in the larger racks designed for large boids (I only have colubrids). I looked at the 28 and 32qt tubs and decided they were not nearly large enough for my snakes.

don't say such a thing - it's a really bad idea
I might start believing it

Nice Rhea. we just decided to actually build a "corner closet" with a glass front for Limon.

Give him 8 feet tall by 4-5 feet sided to side.

Just an idea. Couldn't you take a cheap(Salvation Army, thrift store) tall entertainment/audio center and put a hinged screen door on it, for those climbers. It could have a top and bottom door. It could have multiple levels/shelves for plenty of exploring. Maybe laid on its side to give you a couple of long enclosures. It could work.
