I have been very satisfied with my TGR rack. Only complaint I'd have is the heat tape. What I received was just duck taped together with the wire inside the copper strips, giving the whole thing poor continuity and high resistance fluctuations. My freedom breeder thermostat set on dimmer would have alot of temperature variance between levels on the rack. Once I took the heat tape apart and soldered it back together, then set thermostat to on/off I haven't had a problem.

thanks for the honest review on the racks. I agree that the stability does seem to be an issue (one that will currently keep me from buying the rack to even try out). However, those tubs... I really do like those tubs. Do you happen to know the dimensions of them? Don't rush off to measure if not, I will see if I can find them online, but if they might fit well in my current racks I may have to buy a couple dozen myself.

Armand the stability isn't a huge deal, and they have actually addressed it. I don't have current dimensions. Tub is cb70 size
@KentuckianaExotics
6 жыл бұрын
my thought process is more long term, some stability issues are negligible short term, but in the longer term, it could wear and tear and slowly deteriorate, faster than some others so maybe spending a bit more will save me more. If they have already addressed it though, I will have to consider it further. As for the tubs being cb70's, they would be perfect fit for my set up. Thank you! I will say for the rack system, I like the floating style heat system better than mine. I have had wear and tear on heat tape that ended up melting through a tub once wires became exposed, and luckily I caught it before any harm came to a baby. So it is a heating system I am looking for. Finally, your solution to where to place the probe is fantastic. In my current set up I am not sure I could make it work because my tubs sit on the shelf and the zip tie may hit the heat tape and again cause issues, but I have a couple empty tubs that I am going to test it on. Thank you for all your insights, and keep doing what you do brother! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Don't you worry about excess fluid leaking through the zip-tie holes in the control tub and causing issues with the heat pad underneath? I thought the Herpstat 2 has a probe offset setting to display the proper temperatures that the hot spot should read as if the probe was sitting inside the tub. I actually use that in combination with separate temperature sensors and it seems to be pretty accurate without compromising the tub. Although with my single unit enclosures I do use a weak electrical tape to stick down the probe from a cheaper on/off thermostat.

For someone who is looking to get only one ball python, as a pet, would you recommend a one-level rack from TGR? Or are the single-level racks intended for use only as additions to multi-level racks? Also, would it be acceptable to purchase an adult-size tub for a hatchling/juvenile, provided I used two hides inside the tub while the snake is younger and growing? Or would the large size tub be too stress-inducing for a smaller ball python? Since I only intend to own one snake (a male), I’d like to avoid purchasing multiple enclosures, if possible. (I will do that, of course, if it’s necessary.) Thank you! Love you channel. Your videos are so informative.

I just received my first TGR set up. I am having trouble getting the temp right. I have the probe set up the same what you showed but the probe reads 90 but 5 inches forward the temp gets to over 100. All with Reptichip for sub-straight Any suggestions? Should I mount the probe more in the center of the heat tape? Or should i just worry about the hottest spot staying at 90? I am still new to snake keeping and want to make sure i get it right before i move our snake to its new home.

Question about the substrate ? I use the same substrate and without wetting It’s about 80% humidity . So I switch back to the Aspen and one cup of the coconut fiber and now I am able to keep it right around 60% humidity. So for the actual question. what is the humidity in your fb20 with the coconut fiber? And thanks for posting where you put your probe works awesome

One question about thermostat probe. When it's fixed to the bottom and you put substrate over it, won't it lower the actual temperature? I mean, temperature that you set on thermostat will be at the bottom of the tub, but on top of substrate it will be little bit lower, isn't it?
