Need a new rack? How about an Animal plastics rack and 7 Slot XPVC home made rack?

Posted on by

I am finally getting around to setting up some new vision racks I had purchased and I am all out of room for these racks. I have absolutely no more space for them.

First one is an Animal Plastics Economy Plastics 1754. It is a 10 slot ep rack. As you can see I have 5 of the 32 quart tubs and 9 of the 15 quart. Also included is the heat rope for this rack. New these racks go for 375 plus the cost of the tubs and shipping. I am asking $350. See pic below:


Here are the tubs for the rack:

 

Second is a home-made 7 slot rack that was made from the same material as the animal plastics. It was made from XPVC and is sturdy as all. It comes with belly heat in the form of heat tape. It too includes all of the tubs but one that I broke. I am asking $250 for this rack. Here is a pic of the rack:

Obviously pick up will be needed as these are just too big to ship. I can meet anywhere within a reasonable distance from my home. If interested you can email me support@mightymorphs.com

Scored some new racks, got some bad news, whirlwind of a week.

Posted on by

Hey guys, hope all is well with you. This past week has been one hell of a ride. To start it off we scored some practically brand new vision racks for nearly half off retail price! We got a total of 4 of them. I cannot wait to move everyone around and get them into use. In my opinion these racks heat much nicer and overall my snakes like them much better. I do have another vision that I have been using and I was very impressed with the quality and overall performance of it. So I had to have more.

On another note it seems as if the past 3 months has been nothing but health problems for me. Turns out I do have a hernia and will be needing surgery to correct it. As it stands right now I can barely walk, let alone get out to the snake shack. Rachel is really going to have to step it up and help out with breeding, watering, and feeding some of the bigger girls for me. We are smack dab right in the middle of breeding season and this could not have come at a worse time. We are at the start of a very busy season and I really need to be 100%. So it’s safe to say stress levels are really high at this point. I don’t know how everything is going to turn out and I really could use a clone of myself to help take care of the snakes. I am almost tempted to move all the racks right into my bedroom so I can just roll out of bed and right to the racks.

This Rachel will go for it? LOL
I’ll try to update this blog a little more often if I can. It’s just been all around tough here lately.

Are you done with all your shopping yet?

Posted on by

Here we are just a few days out from Christmas. Are you done with all your shopping yet? We’ve gotten the kids stuff just about done, err I mean Santa is just about done. I hope your holiday season is going smoothly as well.

Thank god I am finally starting to feel better. I’ve had an ongoing cold/flu bug for the past month that turned into walking pneumonia over the past week. Rachel finally got me to go to the doc, so you can only imagine how many meds I’m taking! I still have a lingering cough though, which I hope clears up real soon because ice fishing season has begun early this year and I got the itch!

Speaking of colds and coughs, this time of year it is really important to monitor your animals. With the season changing and things getting a lot colder make sure you pay attention to your reptiles. They can easily come down with something like a respiratory infection of other illness. It seems the stress from the change increases the chances of something going awry. I know with the collection we have it is inevitable that one of our snakes needs to go to a vet at some point between October and Dec. It never fails. Last year it was a pied male we have and this year it was one of my breeder pastel females. Both of which are doing fine.

That is why it is so important to be “one” with your collection. Check them often, get to know their behavior, no matter how big your collection grows. With the amount of animals we have right now, I know each and everyone real well and can spot when somethings off with just a glance over of the animal.

For the past few weeks I have been meaning to talk about this because of how sick I got. I just am now finally getting back into the grove. Just make sure if you come across something you don’t like or something is out of place to bring your animal to a qualified reptile vet. You’d be amazed at how resilient your animal is and how fast it too will recover.

One other tip, at the first sign of a problem, a little bump in their hot spot temperature goes a long way.

If I don’t get another blog post in before Christmas, Have a Merry Christmas!
