  • 5 levels
  • 1/2 in PVC
  • 4 in heat tape
  • Stacks 3 high
  • Assembled or flat packed

Each level holds one ARS-50 tub, so every animal has its own tub and you can pull one out to clean it without disturbing the rest.

Who it suits

ARS-50 tubs can suit some ball pythons, colubrids, and other ground-dwelling reptiles, depending on their size. Check the tub gives your animal enough room, and whether it needs overhead heat, UVB, or a bigger enclosure instead.

Delivery
Assembled or flat packed
  • 1/2 in PVC panels, moisture resistant and easy to wipe down, without the upkeep of unfinished wood.

  • Recessed heat tape channels machined into the shelves, so the tape sits where it should rather than loose under the tubs.

  • A probe slot at the rear of every shelf. We put the thermostat probe on the middle shelf, and check now and then that it has not moved.

  • Stacking up to three racks high. Keep the stack level and supported.

Tubs and heat

The rack takes ARS-50 tubs in clear or grey, with or without cup holders. Clear makes checks easier; grey gives a more enclosed tub.

Thermostat required
Run the heat tape only through a proportional thermostat, such as a Herpstat. Check temperatures inside every tub with a separate thermometer before you add animals. Look over the tape, probe, and connections now and then, and if you see damage, discolouration, or warping, disconnect it until it is repaired.
Our advice
In a basement, a concrete floor can cool the bottom level. Insulation under the rack can help, as long as it does not trap the heat from the tape.

Choosing your options

  • Assembled or flat packed. For a flat-packed rack, a battery drill or driver with a square-drive bit makes assembly easy.

  • Black or white PVC, the same rack either way.

  • Casters to roll the rack out for cleaning. Make sure it cannot move on its own.

  • Shelf pins to stop tubs sliding out by accident.

Questions

How do I put a flat-packed rack together?

Assemble the panels on a flat, level floor, lay the heat tape flat in its channels without folding or overlapping it, fit the top panel, then connect the thermostat and let the temperature settle before you check each tub.
