Rack systems and what to look for 😊

[@OversizedDetour1341]

I personally have the enclosed rack system, where the sides and back are solid. But, my wife (who absolutely supports me in my endeavor to be a breeder, even though she is not particularly a fan of reptiles) made me wait, and found a custom cage builder over a Dragon Cages, and had them build one with the probes at every level as well, along with plenty of ventilation. Way more expensive, but well worth it in the long run.

Excellent topic. We as keepers really don't talk about. This video will help a ton of people. 👍🏽🤘🏽

[@Balls2U]

boxingboa thanks brother, hope your well

[@robr471]

[@TheRoyalBallShack]

Good info Gav! Thanks for sharing.

[@iloveseattle123]

Hi Gavin, new subscriber here. I've been learning a lot watching your videos (as well as other breeders on youtube) and everyone has talked about paperwork and taking notes. I tried googling common methods for keeping good notes and I'm sure every breeder has a different method but I'm not seeing any information about how to do it. If you could do a quick video showing what your notes say and how you have the info organized I would really appreciate that (I've seen some paperwork with your snake tubs as well as some type of clip board with stickers on it, i think for breeding?). Thank you

[@Balls2U]

remain hi and thank you for subscribing to my channel..... I will be doing a paper work/note keeping video very soon 👍

Thank you for this video I'm going to build a rack soon and you gave me some good ideas and good information 👍

[@Balls2U]

Amo Joe your welcome and best of luck with your build

[@amojoe3644]

Thankyou

[@leruetheday377]

This is very informative. I just wish that I could use this information.

[@Balls2U]

LeRueTheDay thank you for taking time to watch my videos

[@superponicsmkul]

Awesome information! Question for you, in your snake room do you run any sort of humidifier for the ambient humidity surrounding? If so what do you set your ambient air humidity to in the entire room? Not in the tub. Thanks Gavin.

[@MrBoab67]

Great video Gavin how do you work out the sockets for your racks that have a stat on every level?

[@stevemunn367]

Great video Gavin yes it does cost a lot more initially but it's worth it in the future 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻steve and Michelle

[@Balls2U]

Steve Munn thanks for watch guys, hope your both well

[@heatherviteo7128]

Thanks for the video , what was used to attach the mesh over the circles in the tubes ?

[@redcoat1330]

great video as im new to the bp world just coming up to a year and i done exactly what you done with the heat mats 1 stat per level and i only have 5 levels of 2. i got my heat stats of ebay habistat was the cheapest place to get them and my heat mats i got from my local garden centre again cheapest place i found them. my advice avoid real cheap cheap stats from China they have 2 pin plugs with adapter which didnt work properly as i found out.

[@GonzalezRoyalPythons]

great video man

[@Balls2U]

Gonzalez Royal Pythons thank you

[@EYADzoneable]

Thank you Very Much for this Video .. You answer all my questions .. Thanks :-)

[@Balls2U]

Eyad Atteyah your welcome 👍

[@earviestinson7814]

How can I get the tubs you us the ones with the holes built in

[@davidbryant8809]

hi gavin what do you use to stop the snakes getting out the hole? looks like some sort of plastic

[@Derrick-BossDragons]

Where can I find the model snake racks you have?

[@Balls2U]

I use mainly vision racks

[@Derrick-BossDragons]

@@Balls2U I just want to say I learned alot from u keep up the great work you really inspired me to breed

[@mandy1349]

Thank you for this the ventilation/airflow helped me a lot!

[@Balls2U]

Amanda Chiabai your welcome, thanks for watching

[@SadieLovelyy]

Are heat pads necessary? I was researching some stuff on temperatures for ball pythons and a couple places I read said you don't need heat pads as long as the ambient temp is around 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@Balls2U]

Sadie I would always advise a heat mat, so they have a hot spot..... the ambient temp at 85 is way to high..... it only needs to be around 79. 😊👍

[@matthewt372]

so it is possible to run a rack system in a room where you can't manage the heat specifically for snakes? you just need a rack that holds heat better like your one with a back and sides?

[@Balls2U]

Yes you can 👍🏼

[@Balls2U]

But air flow is key

[@matthewt372]

Cheers gavin really appreciate you taking the time to reply

[@TELScaniaman]

Excellent video, when you produce quality snakes like you do there can't be anything wrong with your system and setup. People used to ask me about setting up a rack with one stat and I used to say can you heat your whole house with one radiator?

[@Balls2U]

Martin Dixon thank you my friend and that's a great point too 🙏

[@acsballpythons1607]

do the rubs need to be see through? I have blue and pink non see through

[@Balls2U]

Elaine Smith no as long as they do the job

[@acsballpythons1607]

Balls2U cheers. much appreciated. while I have ur attention, when u buy a morph and they don't know the history ie the parent's is there any way to know? it a lithium

[@RB-wv2ml]

Great video. Thanks 👍

[@cmmconstrictors5971]

Hey my racks are from cserpents they have a Gap on top for air should this be enough for air flow?

[@Balls2U]

Christopher Mcdonald Chris over there does a great job on building those racks..... you shouldn't have any problems with them 👍

[@StanWatt.]

Excellent video as usual, Gavin. What's the Wattage of the mats you use?

[@papamidnightfpv]

I grow mushrooms and I can tell you that if mold is growing it means there is around 60% co2. Fresh air exchange or fae is the number one way mushroom growers combat mold. You're on track. Temp is also a factor. Fruiting mushrooms or mold happens above 65 degrees f. Fans in your snake room can help prevent mold. Also humidity levels are important for mold or mushroom production. Increasing air flow drops rh it relative humidity. Finding this balance is important but understanding what is growing and what is actually occurring in the micro climate is so important. I don't know everything about snakes but I produced spores for an olive vendor for years, I know fungus. If anybody take this advice and looks into what is growing in your enclosures you will understand what you need to change for the benefit of your animals. These Are All Indicators To What Your Snake Is Living in.

[@seansjustchange4870]

@balls2u Do you know if D & Jos pythons racks are any good? Assuming your familiar with the name as from UK.. May of seen the racks in person at Doncaster.

[@Balls2U]

Seans Justchange hi, I do know them and I did see the racks, great idea for starters and beginners

[@seansjustchange4870]

Sweet as now my bps are adding up want to switch to a rack but some of the professional ones are soooo expensive. Whereas there's are like 500 for ten levels ain't to bad but because I've seen no product reviews it's always a gamble ay. Enjoy the content keep it up!

[@lornafletcher6174]

Hi, i know you do snakes but do you know of any rack systems that could store insects? ovbiosuly racks with tubs with lids?

[@billfrederick4498]

Hello Gavin hope is where to leave comments to you. bill
