There is a guy on RFUK who does them, and quite cheap, he makes them solid back out of wood.
They are quite good.
I just personally don't like snakes in RUB stacks, but it's personal choice.
You might want to try on there as their is a few more people who make stacks etc... |

| Rub stacks are a great way of saving space, but you only really need to go down that road if you have a lot of animals, having ten vivs for example takes up vast amounts of space. I have ten, that's a lot of space, but I also have 3 racks, very handy! Most racks are either made to order or cannibalised out of something like a tv unit or wardrobe, purpose built are expensive, look at pro racks for example. |

Not for each rub no. I have 2 thermostats. 1 running at 28-30c for the corns and brb and another running at 30-33 for the king and royal plus the boas later. Because I use heat strips rather than mats it means I don't have loads of mats plugged into one stat. For example, the rubs on the top of the unit are all on one 4ft heat strip.
As Mike said, a rack is not needed though unless you have quite a few snakes. I jus needed to make one as my collection grew  |

| Yea, im just thinking space wise as they are in my bedroom, Kclaice is far from being big enough to move up to a bigger rub, but once my room moves round i will have no where to put them but on the floor which i dont want to do, so i was thinking if i were to get a rub stack to fit 4 50l rubs in... i could keep khcalice there still as she would have plenty of spaace, but then i could fit valentine in to, and then over time home another 2 as i still realllly would love a san fransisco garter snake :) and it would just save so much space :) |
