I bought 3 pieces of 3/4"x16"x97" melamine shelving, made 6 cuts, and screwed the pieces together (while installing the flexwatt). Then, I nailed 1/4" Luan underlayment on the back. The shelves were spaced for the tubs, so they are lidless. The finishing touches are 2 little strips of melamine edge tape, and white screw caps.
Grand total for the entire rack is about $185. That's $9.25 per tub.

I built the rack upside down and used the actual tubs as spacers. I also put 6 sheets of paper on top of the tubs on the ends so that the tubs would have a little relief when the rack was finished and the paper was removed.
Simple is always good.

Re: Baby Boa Rack
ahhh, hmmm  when we built our latest rack the sides were coming out crooked, we didnt use any spacers for the tubs. we ended up just measureing the height of the tubs and making these little spacer things out of wood and doing it that way

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

Re: Baby Boa Rack
The rack is very nicely done. I like your simple design.
I have been keeping my king snake in a rack/tub, and it has been the most efficient set up ever.
