Great job. I do a lot of wood working, DIY projects and sketchup is great for this. For cut lists I use a program called CUTLIST but the one you referenced looks easier to use. I built my hatchling rack similar to this. Used plywood instead, did 48 inch back so I used two 21 inch heat tape for back heat. It works but given the tubs have that taper in the back the tubs dont get close enough to the heat tape for me. The tub gets the temp I want but I have to put the thermostat much higher. The snakes are always plastered against the back wall of the tub versus their hides. I think next time I will do belly heat for them. It seems it would give them a wider heat source that they are on top of versus close to, if that makes sense. I do keep the ambient temperature 70-75 as well.
Thx for sharing.. I also like to see what I will end up with even before I buy anything.. Great to see you're building a fan base by doing stuff like this.
Awesome, thanks for sharing. Watched it all, built one along with you. Had to pause and rewind so probably about 2 hours in. Worth it though learned a lot

Awesome!!! Glad you walked us thru the whole thing!!! Helps out loads on that sketchup program lol I've been messing with that and a few aps on my phone for cut lists this makes it way easier!
Congratulations on another great video Jason. Guys like us help keep the intrest in the hobby heading in the positive direction. The length of the video was pretty good I thought especially being an educational style video with great explanation. Keep it up your headed somewhere for sure!
I have a favor to ask. I plan on making some racks based on your designs, but I would also like to make a special rack that would fit 6 of the 20 gallon long aquariums. Can you help me develop a measurement cut sheet?
First off love your vids keep em coming just got my first ball python and already wanting more so gonna build my first rack system soon thx keep up the hard work hope 2019 is a great year for ya and the fam
Do you ever have any issues with heat with the tubs that are not flat on the bottom? I know most have some kind of contour for stacking purposes but I didn't know if it causes any problems with getting the hot spot hot enough. Going to be building my own rack soon and I'm trying to decide between 32qt sterilite tubs or ordering vision tubs. Just curious your take on it. Thanks
Im also a pc enthusiast myself, constantly upgrading the office and specs haha. love the content, keep it up. Do you game on the system? greetings from england
Great video Jason. I was going to suggest running two strips of 12" heat tape until you brought up using the herpstat 4. That's a really cool idea. I've been looking for a similar rack idea to use with colubrids. This rack looks like it would be perfect. I'm glad you made this video. Quick question... What saw blade do you use to keep from splitting the edges of your melamine when you make your cuts?
Thanks man. I don't think you can perfectly prevent chipping but two tips to help. 1. Put a masking tape line where you are gonna cut 2. Use a finishing blade with a very high teeth count
Hey Jason, I recently spoke with a cabinet maker who uses melamine. They told me that they use a high tooth count on their blades and run them in reverse. Give it a try and see what you think.
I really need your help I want to build my own breeding rack and I am trying to use what you did in this but I am having problems getting it to run right can you ple help me with this
its a lot more work, but i would do 3" belly heat and split the rack into 3 zones from top to bottom rather than side to side. you would have 6 lvls each zone to turn off when its not full, and each lvl would be fully heated rather than just 1 tub per lvl. and smaller heat tape pulls less amps and belly heat is more efficient at transferring the heat to the snakes so u can set a lower temp on the tstat and get the same temp in tub. Also, since u figured in a gap for air, u could skip the routing for the tape and just use aluminum tape to hold it in place. the wear of the tubs sliding on it would be marginally more, but it would still be fine. i made a rack that way and its lasted for years now.
You should never let your tubs touch and slide on the heat tape. Very dangerous and much higher likelihood of a fire. I will never slide a tub on heat tape
This is awesome!! I was wondering how you built those sweet racks. I have 9 snakes and am trying to breed this year so a hatchling rack would be very helpful 😃
Could run two 12" as back heat will be indirect heat anyways since there is a lip on the tubs. Are you going to offset the back of the shelves from the back or just sandwich the heat tape in?
Ya I could but I like the idea of being able to unplug each column if I'm not using it. And yes probably just going to sandwich the heat tape. It doesn't get hot enough to hurt anything anyways.
Thank you for doing this video! I have been using a different program, and this one looks so much easier to use! The design library on the website is super cool too. Which program do you use to record your screen for doing computer based tutorials like this?
Love your vids very much. But watch a sketchup tutorial. If you grab the piece where you and press ctrl it will automatically copy it. And when you were stacking them, after pasting the second level where you want you can type the letter x then the number of levels you want. So "x8" and it will automatically fill in the levels. Just so.e tips for people here in 2021. Otherwise, love your videos man
Only thing I can tell ya is the bad thing about buying from the dollar tree is the fact that those are off brand and may not be produced for long periods of time so if you dont but a shit ton of those you may be shit outta luck when you need more tubs. I buy my 6qt steralite hatchling tubs from Target for $1 and the design hasnt changed in years so I can always buy more and they fit. I really do like that program though beings as I am a drafter for a living this will be super easy for me to use!
Ya makes sense. From my experience this tub is always available, albeit not necessarily in this color. I found where you can order them in bulk quantities. But thanks for looking out
@@MorphMixologyReptiles Yeah if you could order a bunch in bulk thats how I would do it for sure especially since you are going for the color! I really like that BTW!
Going to watch all 50 minutes of this lol
Impressive 😂. I don't expect many people to lol
Haha yes still watching
Haha thanks man!
I started watching this in 1986 as well.
Awesome!
Very detailed!! I like it. This is the perfect DIY rack video
Thanks man
This was a really cool video!
Thanks!

Awesome. I'm gonna try the back heat but who knows.
Thanks for all the tools. I will be messing around with it to get my racks and room optimized
Awesome! Glad it helped
Thx for sharing.. I also like to see what I will end up with even before I buy anything.. Great to see you're building a fan base by doing stuff like this.
Awesome video. Much needed. Thank you
Thank you!

Thanks, Jason! Fantastic info you’ve given us here.
Thanks!
haven't watched the whole vid yet but I'm glad you made a video about racks cause I've been wanting to see how you setup and design them.thanks
Of course! Thanks for watching.
Amazing video bro. I loved it. Saved it for future reference. Thank you so much.
Exactly what I hoped people would do. Thank you!

Ya I know
Awesome video! Thanks for the info!!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching
Great drawing program! I need to look into that for some of the things for snakes I now draw on paper.
It's pretty simple really
Just watched the whole Video. Great information Jason. Looks like I know where to go, when I try to build my own hatchling or snake racks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Awesome video dude. I may now use that program since I need to build a 200 bin hatchling wall..
Thanks bro
Hey I really appreciate this. Thanks man
It's a long video but I hope it helps.
This is just perfect! Going to watch all 50 min of this. Just found this channel, one more sub for sure
Thanks!
This is a great video man! I like what you're doing here!!!

Thanks man!
Your welcome man talk to you again soon
How did you make those tubs lol
I use them for my hatchlings they work perfectly my are pink and blue
Awesome!
I have a favor to ask.
I plan on making some racks based on your designs, but I would also like to make a special rack that would fit 6 of the 20 gallon long aquariums. Can you help me develop a measurement cut sheet?
Thanks for this video gonna be very helpful in the future! I get most of my designs based on your tutorials lol. Awesome upload as usual!
Thanks man! Appreciate it
Wow thanks for the tutorial
Ur welcome. Thanks for watching
@@MorphMixologyReptiles no problem man
First off love your vids keep em coming just got my first ball python and already wanting more so gonna build my first rack system soon thx keep up the hard work hope 2019 is a great year for ya and the fam
Thanks man! Good luck with your collection and rack build!

Was wondering if the sketch up cost and if you download app onto computer do you need internet to run it
Im also a pc enthusiast myself, constantly upgrading the office and specs haha. love the content, keep it up.
Do you game on the system? greetings from england
I actually don’t have any custom PCs anymore. Just don’t have the time or money

Thanks man
Hey Jason, I recently spoke with a cabinet maker who uses melamine. They told me that they use a high tooth count on their blades and run them in reverse. Give it a try and see what you think.
what’s the purpose of the edge tape? just to make it look nice?
And seal in the raw edges to prevent moisture and swelling
Morph Mixology Reptiles 👍🏻 thanks
I really need your help I want to build my own breeding rack and I am trying to use what you did in this but I am having problems getting it to run right
can you ple help me with this
Do you prefer back heat or belly heat?
Belly
Did you get round to building this ?
No it was just an example
its a lot more work, but i would do 3" belly heat and split the rack into 3 zones from top to bottom rather than side to side. you would have 6 lvls each zone to turn off when its not full, and each lvl would be fully heated rather than just 1 tub per lvl. and smaller heat tape pulls less amps and belly heat is more efficient at transferring the heat to the snakes so u can set a lower temp on the tstat and get the same temp in tub.

I did really like the video, gave me some great ideas and tools to use.
I did like idea of being able to turn off each row if using a herp 4.
Thank you for doing this video! I have been using a different program, and this one looks so much easier to use! The design library on the website is super cool too. Which program do you use to record your screen for doing computer based tutorials like this?
OBS
You have bade width set to 1 inch. Try putting in .0675 1/16 inch what most table saw blades are.
Love your vids very much. But watch a sketchup tutorial. If you grab the piece where you and press ctrl it will automatically copy it.

are they 6 qt
Any way you can send me 3D tub. I’m having a hard time getting it the right size please. Just the tub 28 1/2 L x16 7/8 W x 5 7/8 W
DM me on Facebook. I'll see what I can do
I did same as you tub name
That will be one heavy rack system
All of my racks are heavy

16:00, for the love of god make them orange already, lol.
You should exploded it instead of just ungrouping it.
You should fix all your MERCH links on your older videos Id bet you'd sell a bunch more. Just saying :)
1st
Yay! Lol
