    With the regurgitation, lack of feeding, and gastrointestinal symptoms in multiple snakes, I would highly suggest a PCR test for cryptosporidium, especially in the regards to hognose snakes. I realize this video is 5-months old and circumstances may have changed since then.

    Been on the fence on what rack to get for years. Theres plenty of rack reviews for each of these. What Ive found from watching is that most large scale breeders recommend getting the ARS because you can buy each level as you go and dont have to buy the entire setup immediately. These cost about $100 for the base and 130ish for each level. I would like to get a black box cages (16 or20) rack for hatchlings eventually and will probably get a Ve6 for adults to keep adults and hatchlings seperated as much as possible to help prevent any spread of crypto. Black box and ve6 can interchange tubs as they grow whereas the ARS does not unless you get the hybrid and only so far I think.ie hatchling to juvi but not juvi to adult. Im not sure though. I would prefer to make my own but lumber is expensive and pvc even more so. ARS look like a pain to put together but very sturdy. Blackbox looks like it comes all put together. There is a freight charge. Ve6 looks easy to put together but dont put the back on til after you install the heat tape. Free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. Either way the less snakes they hold the more cost per snake each rack is. I have not really looked onto the ap plastics but many people like the C serpents. Cloud colubrids has a good diy pvc and chris hardwick shows how to put together an ARS. Quirkys colubrid also made a cool diy hatchling rack. And now that Ive written a novel, have a great night! 😃

    • @MedusaHerps
      @MedusaHerps 9 місяців тому

      I appreciate your novel 😁. Hopefully my response will be a Short Story. C Serpents - Come assembled and with tubs, but don't offer much customization so multiple racks may be needed. Blackbox - Expensive plus freight. Again, limited configuration options. ARS - Add as you need, but too many choices. Difficult for me to configure 1 rack for adult males/females. Price is sort of an issue. Reptile Basics - Systems that hold multiple size tubs. Tubs aren't as tall as others, and I worry about the size of their small Hatchling tubs. Hatchling rack (I-6) doesn't stack with VE-6. My 2nd choice at the moment. Animal Plastics - Lead time (2 months for racks based on recent phone call). Lots of options for configuration (# of levels, tub size). 330 Hatchling rack will stack on 375 rack ( only 1 size of hatchling tubs though. Least expensive option. In the end I guess it comes down to personal choice and finances. I've got 4 yearlings ATM, hopefully add a couple more animals before the end of the year. I'll probably grab the AP racks, and then add stuff in a couple years when I start breeding. Thank you again for the response, I myself have been a bit overwhelmed with making a choice and it's always good to have other opinions/information. ✌️♥️🐍
