Making a Reptile Rack guys.........

[dougie210]

Hey guys,
I am planning to build a reptile rack over the next few weeks, i am planning to keep my adult pair of Thick Tailed geckos, which will breed, so i will probaly house the hatchlings in it as well, so i will also be in the future future, i will be housing Smooth Knob Tailed Gecko pairs eg Pilbarenis and Occidentalitis and Levis Levis, in the rack as well. So what i need help is what size tubs would i need for the above reptiles i said plus there hatchlings?What wood should i use, how should i build it, what kind of heating, and how do i apply the heating plus, how many thermostats do i need, if i don't want to spend tonnes of money on the rack it self??
Once i have organised this, i will post pics and keep you guys updated.
Thanks,
Chris

Can't remember the size for adults, think it was 30-50L containers or something. Most used melamine with a heat cord. I'll try and find you the threads.
