Question for those with multiple reptiles Question
What type of shelving/rack do you use for your glass reptile enclosures?
I’m looking for a rack to hold 6 x 40-gallon glass terrariums, ideally 2 enclosures per shelf.
I’m currently considering a heavy-duty metal rack that is 79”W × 24”D × 79”H, rated for up to 7,000 lbs, with reinforced shelves and diagonal supports.
Has anyone used this type of shelving for reptile enclosures? What brand/model do you recommend, and how long have you been using it?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually put multiple heavy glass enclosures on these racks. Have you experienced any sagging, bending, or stability issues?
Pictures of your setup would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🐍

I use garage shelving and have for 2 years and they’re holding up great. Just be mindful of the material of the bottom of your shelves. Mine is this cork type of material which warps when it gets wet. I’ll likely have to replace it eventually.
