Was doing the clean outs and water changes this morning so took a few pics.
It's now offical, my rack is too small. I need to go bigger! Or I could just stop getting more snakes 
1 Rack area. The 2 large tubs to the left are empty right now, soon to be filled!
Other rack (coffee table!)

Louise beautiful collection all your snakes look fabulous and i love your rubs - it's amazing what you can do with empty loo rolls and egg boxes, am keepin all my loo roll tubes and you reminded me to buy fake foliage for my new corn. Oh and the curtain hooks - great idea.
Am def gonna use big rubs rather than vivs i think ;)
What's your secret tell me tell me ;) |

i use a similar set up for Tequila, in the same type of box. It works really well, the heat mat is fixed to the shelf beneath, and the plastic is really easy to attach things to by just making a new hole. Tequila has more to climb on and hid in then my other snake who is in a viv.
not to mention that there 100x easier to clean :P |

@ Mole, the ruba are all ontop of heatstrips which have a sticky backing so they are stuck down to the rack :)
@ K, I do post on the king forum but it's so quiet over there and Marv is a vain King and needs lots of people to see him and comment on his awsomeness!!
@ Stapey, I have already told you, you can have Marv, if you swap him for Ozzy! Also, they get loads of daylight/sunlight. This room they are in is south facing and gets loads of natural light and when the suns out it's really bright. Although, having said that, the corns spend most of their time hiden under the kitchen roll or in their hides during the day when it's light and come out in the evening when it gets dark, which is what you would expect so I guess it's working fine for them. :) |

Yeh lou :o keep the snakey snakes just for the sexy snake forum. As punishment you need to give me Marv. XD
very nice although I do wonder like how do the snakes in the left rack get sunlight? |

They all look great. And a brilliant excuse for eating easter eggs.
Shut up K - the Goins is stunning and I love seeing him. It's as close as I'm going to get to one as I have now been officially banned from getting any more snakes, at least until the kids have grown up. They were even gong to ban me from the forum so I couldn't get tempted lol |

Woo, all looking superb.
Except for the Goins, that should be kept for tks only.
Not very good is it, showing a PkRiOnPgER snake on the corn forum???? *K runs away quickly* |

Have been curious, do you put the rubs on the heatmats, or the mats in the bottom of the rubs like in a viv. If ontop, do you tape the mat down to the tables and shelves that they are stacked on, dumb question i know but my brain needs to visualise and i can see your stats and therms but no mats Dohh |

The corns are doing great in them. Had no problems at all. All feeding well and doing everything they should.
I was going to get actual RUBs but nowhere near me stocks the larger sizes and with added delivery costs they were working out quite pricey. These were from a shop near me for £4 each so I thought I would try them. I know some people use luggage straps to hold the lids down but again I couldn't find any near me so I improvised :) |

Thats a good idea. It looks like you have one in each corner then one in the middle on each of the longer sides. Think I will have try to that especially as the only tubs I have found with locking handles are the RUBS and theie internal dimesions are alot smaller than the external. How do your corns seem to do in them? Nice pics by the way. |

Your gonna laugh, but it works....I use curtain hooks!! The curly ones that look like a letter 'e'. I make holes in the lid of the tub that go through to the rim of the tub. The hook then slots through and twists right round locking the lids in place. They have worked really well and I have tried getting the lids off while the hooks are in place and they won't budge :)
If you look in the pics you can see the hooks all around the edges. |

Louise how have you secured those lids on those Tubs? I am looking into getting some tubs but was concerned that the lids could be pushed off if snakey was determined. I've used one like that before for my GALS the tubs seem clearer than the genuine RUBS. |
