I prefer to showcase my reptiles and most of my enclosures are home made and large! However my wife and I moved to a new home that is smaller and doesnt allow room for all my enclosures. I was forced to downsize and build a rack, just thought I would share the progression pics.

Test Fitting the tubs:

A little filler, caulk and sanding:

A coat of primer and more sanding:

Here it is semi set up with some corns in it, testing for any possible escape routes.

The top tubs are 12 qt for hatchlings. The middle 2 are 28 qt tubs. The bottom 4 are 41 qt and the tall tub is for my pair of cresteds.
 
Very, Very nice! you did an awesome job..... just be careful though, building racks is as addicting as cornsnakes! lol!:laugh:
 
Very nice rack system! Want to build me one? lol!! What going to go in the 41 qts? That's kind of big for a corn isn't it? lol and great idea with the tall qt. for the crested geckos! :0)

41 qts doesn't look that big after you put in a 900g+ adult, large hide and a large water bowl. Besides, extra room to roam around is always a good thing.

Great job with the rack! It looks very professional.
