Snake Rack- DIY in PVC

[@petguide5692]

Can you make a video on heating a rack system? Most videos on KZbin are sloppy but yours seem pretty clean. Thanks!

[@Reptiledge]

+PetGuide hi! Do you mean how to heat? Or how to run heat tape?

[@petguide5692]

Possibly a video on what best heating option is for a rack and how to do it, whether it is heat tape or something else.

[@Reptiledge]

will do!

[@petguide5692]

Thank you!

[@joshmedeiros1612]

@@Reptiledge did you ever make that video?????? Lol I would love to watch it

[@EVsNipe]

Great video really clean!! Maybe a heat tape setup or heating source setup for the rack would be really nice

[@AmarettoPuppets]

Great video and build! Thanks for sharing! If you were going to use this rack with belly heat, would you be running a single long heat tape for the entire rack? Is the heat tape passing through those routed slots and running on the outside of the rack to go between shelves? Just trying to get a better idea of how your design accommodated tape for belly heat. Thanks so much!

[@eoinmccann8450]

This is brilliant 👍 thank you

[@alieninvaider]

Thank you so much your video has saved me thousands of dollars! (EDIT) Do I need to make any major changes if I’m going to be making it for ball pythons 🐍

[@RaiKing17]

Very helpful video! Thank you so much.

[@modestfurret]

What type of PVC did you use?? Does anyone know? I checked the sites but cant figure out what I am actually looking for and there are so many types of PVC. Some are like $50 and some are over $200?????

[@ctophercs]

Great video. Thank you.

[@Reptiledge]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@Ibaneddie76]

I want to build some PVC racks but the PVC board is like finding a unicorn, where the heck can you get it? I even checked the places you suggested in the US and there is nothing.

[@bobsloan9930]

WHERE CAN YOU BUY THE PVC????????

[@carolynhill5938]

Great video!! Thank you!!

[@naomiwalker7376]

I really wish you would have made a video explaining how to put in the heat tape. Also your recommendation for a larger size rack and the dementions of the PVC this was so helpful for how to prepair a place for my hatchlings this spring but not how to give them heat! I'm not super handy

[@giovannynunez44]

What kind of pvc

[@micktheknife]

I know I'm late to the party but thought I'd ask, 1/2 melamine pvc, would you consider pinning the exact measurements and name of the sheets used to make this?

[@mojo9112]

Great video! How much is the pvc 48x96x1/2"? And could I do this with melamine?

[@TheBaggedchrysler]

great video

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

Where can I get pvc board cut to size

[@zingiestbug4251]

How do you drill the 5 inch holes for the heat tape? What tool would you use?

[@b3z3n14]

just drill a hole in the back for the wire, take the plug off and feed the wire through, much easier!

[@k3illest_893]

Wich is better for ball pythons belly heat or back heat? I know belly heat is important but whats the back heat for?

[@jamesperry459]

Belly button

[@michaelbryant7253]

Do you do the routing for the belly heat before assembling or after? Awesome video by the way. Thanks!

[@Reptiledge]

+Michael Bryant the routing is easier if you do it after assembly if you don't have a cnc

[@blueballsexotics8596]

@@Reptiledge can you do a video showing us how you placed the heat source. ? I didint see any heat tape or anything

[@YenCrew]

Thanks for this video! I do have one question. If I do use wood to build a rack. What type of wood is best? What options in type of wood do I have?

[@thecontroversialcracker5296]

Victor Huerta From my experience the majority of people use melamine.

[@Ibaneddie76]

Good luck finding the PVC board, for some reason these guys never want to let anyone what to specifically get and its not a common material at big box stores. Just use melamine it's great stuff just make sure to edge band any exposed edges and it will be totally water safe.

[@bimmel20]

Great video. You gave the cut dimensions for this rack in the video. Do you have cut dimensions for a standard 28qt container rack?

[@AZHerps]

Lol and they say they answer all.comments? Apparently not

[@Street702]

I should be able to use this method for my adult females that I have in 56 quart tubs? running belly heat and that size tubs should I use 3/4" or use 1" to avoid flexing and causing sticking tubs?

[@Reptiledge]

+Ken Mitchell 1/2 should still be fine

[@Street702]

Reptile_Edge cool deal thank you for the rapid reply

[@blacksabeth6319]

need to know what best to keep ball pythons in an small tub then get the bigger ones later or start off to the big tub rack so you dont have to change the rack later when snake is full grown ty

[@jacobhellman9181]

black sabeth big tubs later

[@longlive1488]

Quick question , what is the pvc listed as on the U.S vendor . everything looks like its just foam to me, over a solid PVC. iv built wood racks be for the same way , was gonna try PVC for a baby boa grow out rack this time .

[@Reptiledge]

+Dan wurm it's considered foam board pvc. It is solid and light :)

[@t8do543]

Is that PVC solid or is it the foam PVC wit the air bubbles in it??

[@pillboysurvives]

Can you possibly do a video of how to setup the heat and uvb lighting for your breeder's please.

[@Reptiledge]

sure, we will add this to our video ideas folder

[@ivans2014]

Great video dude. Is that expanded pvc or rigid pvc?

[@ellenspalding7310]

Why doesn't it need heat??

[@earviestinson7814]

Do u have any already built

[@leandroloureiro1846]

Hello, you made it look really easy, great work :D But if you get a heating cable under the "cages" it won't fit in there, right?

[@Reptiledge]

Leandro Loureiro heat tape fits. heat cable you have to route a path for it.

[@leandroloureiro1846]

Thanks for que quick response, you just got +1sub xD You mean dig in the wood to fit the cable?

[@Reptiledge]

yes, use a router to make a path for the cable.

[@leandroloureiro1846]

Thank you!!

[@Tata-iu3fy]

They like living in small places? Or is this temporary? I know nothing about any of this. I am just curious.

[@brettchristoffel6391]

Miss B small snakes especially juveniles like small enclosures. They can actually become stressed if the enclosure is to big and there are no hiding spots.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Brett Christoffel thanks for explaining that to me.

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

Hi I'm trying to make a snake rack for a 28 or 32 quart rack

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

What kind of measurements

[@theherppreacher5131]

How much do this particular rack cost to make?

[@Triggreptiles]

Nice video. Where do you usually order your pvc sheets?

[@Triggreptiles]

Nevermind- I messaged too soon. 😝

[@Reptiledge]

+Gianne Apurado :)

[@twinboosted0318]

Where did you get the pvc from?

[@chrisg5440]

Would ABS sheets work as well instead of the pvc? What are your thoughts on ABS?

[@Reptiledge]

yes you could. ABS is good as it doesnt leach into water or soil so youll be fine.

[@chrisg5440]

Awesome was just curious because it says u can mold it with heat and was worried about the heat tape worping it, or offgasing any fumes from the heat.

[@summaandsonsleopardgeckos9032]

Is this PVC Foam Board?

[@beardedninja8717]

Where did you find these pvc boards I cannot seem to find them at home depot. What were the dimensions?

[@Reptiledge]

+Bearded Ninja87 piedmont plastics

[@warmachineUSMC]

If you look on home depot's or lowe's website search for pvc trim boards and it comes in 4x8 sheets. The website can tell you which stores have it in stock.

[@musicwithkelsey2212]

[@Reptiledge]

+musicwithkelsey around $75

[@basantisarder3486]

Can you say me where I can buy a leopard gecko in India ?

[@martinwarren1864]

How do you put belly heat on the plastic tubs?

[@philmcracken6590]

It goes on the top of the bottom of each "shelf" in the rack. He mentions using a router to etch a notch for it in the first minute.

[@LanceKirkman]

Thank you!

[@Reptiledge]

Lance Kirkman you're welcome :)

[@DEAexotics]

how much does it save you to make your own one buying one ?

[@Reptiledge]

+Dakota Aquatics cost of one sheet that can make 3 of these racks is 150$. It's a very large savings.

[@DEAexotics]

Reptile_Edge thank you

[@roundthetwist5306]

[@Reptiledge]

+Josh Oneill yes. Technically it's called xpvc
