Whats people's opinion on racks and stacks cos I've currently got 8 corns one king I'm getting this week and I want to get a royal python sometime in the new year 3 corns are in there forever homes 2 are in a 2ft viv which they are fine in at the mo and 3 are in large hatching tubs one going to need a new house soon. I haven't got room for both so if I build a rack the vivs will go. So shall I make a rack if so what tubs/rubs size would I need for adult corns and probley a royal or shall I buy a stack or how many vivs can u stack on top of each other is there a limit don't want the bottom one to collapse if so do you need any thing in between cos of the heat rising ecta sorry if some of the questions seem silly

If you want to display them I would go for stacks. I have a stack of 5 lx36's on 6 adjustable Vivexotic legs, the top one is quite high and we use a small step to see and clean but it's no problem. They must be secured together with brackets at the back and have to be absolutely level. Each one is controlled by its own pulse stat and have had no problems with temps.
