Alternatives to Snake Racks **Rubbermaid Drawers**

I am sure that all of you have seen the storage drawers that rubbermaid makes- the ones that at first glance look like killer snake racks? Obviousley upon closer inspection they are unsuited as they have large gaps near the lid.

My question is has anyone succesfully modified these to make them snake proof? If so how did you do it?

Also, i saw some iris tubs that are singles that can stack. These look like they would work without any modification at all. They are the large single stackers made by Iris in the Lowes storage isle. They are fully enclosed on sides and top unlike the rubbermaid. Anyone using these?

I am going to pick a few up and see how they work. It looks like heat cable/ tape would be easy to install on these as they have open bottoms.

These look like clean, light weight, and affordable alternatives to the traditional snake racks.

Here is the link to some similiar ones. The ones at Lowes are a little different and cost about $12 per unit. They come in all different sizes....Iris 130551 Stacking Drawer, 4 Gallon, 11-7/8'' x 17-1/2'' x 7-1/8'', Black, IRS130551, IRS 130551 - IRS130551

Re: Alternatives to Snake Racks **Rubbermaid Drawers**

I have not seen those (rubbermaids or sterelite) used for snakes but have seen them used for rat racks. dont know how well they work over long term due to rats chewing on stuff all the time.
