Hi All,
Just a few questions for those members that have purchased the Slitherin / Vision
Rack systems.
What sort of temps are you getting from them this time of year?
Do you think they will produce a good enough heat gradient to feed through winter?
or do you have to have additional heat in your herp rooms?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. |

Same here....if you don't think your temps are high enough just run another row of heat cord.....  |

| | | | hi
i seen theses racks the the show last weekend
the v35 rack looked as those some snakes could squirm their way out
can u fix it as it looked as thought the gap was a bit to much and this
seemed to make the tub very easy to slide which is good but maybe not so good for snakes
escapeing, this gap was at the top of the tub. |

If you have any doubts, call Jason. He is one of the most pleasant and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with.

Had a chat to the sales people at last weekends expo and the racks appear as though they wopuld suit our needs. Sales people do not tell you if there are any problems with their products. So what I would like to know is if any one has had any problems or something they are not happy with. As it is a lot of money to outlay. Your comments would be appreciated.

These racks have been around for a long time in the US so have pretty much ironed out all the kinks. |

| | | | so how close are you able to make the gap between the tub and the rack?
at the show it seemed to be about 5mm maybe more
can u make it so this is tighter
cheers |

Liberty, I'm not sure which size you were looking at but my tubs are quite firm when you slide them, no hatchie has ever escaped! I would say that for the show they didnt screw the racks together tighly due to time constraints. If you purchase one and have a problem Jason will help you out for sure.....he may even deliver it and set it up for you.....great service!! |
