Review by Billy Hunt
I have used the 18-tub hatchling rack from C Serpents for a little over two years now. I use three of them stacked on top of each other so I have a stack of 54 tubs with each level being three tubs across. They are lightweight and easy to move by one person. My snake room is upstairs so that is a huge plus. The rack uses Iris shoe box tubs which are a perfect fit and are completely smooth on the inside making cleaning a breeze. The rack itself is made with 1/2“ PVC and has three inch recessed heat tape already installed with foil tape over the tape to create a smooth surface for the tubs to slide across on. The racks ship fully assembled. All you have to do is hook up your thermostat and you are ready to go.
Over the past two years I have used these racks for my hatchling carpet pythons. I used homemade racks prior to using these and the difference is insane. The tubs slide perfectly every time and still do to this day. The gap in between the top of the tub and the rack itself is perfect for carpet pythons and all the random species I have housed in this rack over time. The tubs also hold humidity very well so high humidity species will do well in these racks. Temps are stable and consistent throughout the whole rig. For me personally, the iris tubs are the star of this product. After years of using tubs that weren’t smooth on the inside and just have lips and grooves to get stuff caught in, the iris tubs were a game changer.
So all and all, this is a great rack for anyone that breeds. It is affordable and C Serpents has done everything they can to make buying one of these racks easy as possible. You order it, it comes fully assembled with the tubs included, and all you have to do is hook up your thermostat of choice and you are ready to go. I highly recommend this rack and all the other products from C Serpents. Check out their products at cserpents.com
