Breeding reptiles requires a controlled environment to ensure a successful outcome. That’s where reptile breeding racks come in, offering a compact and efficient housing solution.
Snakeracks are a popular choice, especially for breeders who need to house multiple snakes in an organized, space-saving way. The Versa-Rack series is a common option for both hobbyists and professional breeders.
Types of Snakeracks
If you’re thinking about getting a snakerack, it helps to know a little bit about the different types available. Here are a couple of options:
Classic Snakeracks
Traditional snakeracks are usually made of wood, plastic, or metal, and they’re designed to hold several tubs stacked one on top of the other.
These racks are popular because they don’t take up a lot of space, they’re easy to clean and keep up, and they’re relatively inexpensive.
Versa-Rack Systems
The Versa-Rack series is designed to work for both reptile hobbyists and professional breeders. The racks are versatile, durable, and designed to save space.
Versa-Racks work with a variety of tub sizes, including V-15, V-18, V-35S, V-35, and V-70. You can also get heat cables for them. They’re lightweight and have wheels, so they’re easy to move around.
Slotted Stainless Steel Versa-Racks
Our upgraded Slotted Stainless Steel Versa-Racks offer some great new features. We’ve redesigned the shelves to make it easier to install overhead heat and lighting. Plus, the racks are made from super-durable stainless steel, so they’re built to last.
We offer several different models to fit your needs:

Setting Up and Maintaining a Snakerack
One of the best features of snakeracks like Versa-Rack is that they’re easy to assemble and even easier to expand as your collection grows. But there are a few things to keep in mind.
Heat is crucial. Most keepers use heat cables or heat tape to provide warmth to each tub. Good ventilation is equally important.
Regular cleaning is also key. A clean snakerack prevents the spread of disease and keeps your snakes healthy. Always use reptile-safe disinfectants when cleaning.
In Summary
For reptile breeders, snake racks offer incredible space efficiency, organization, and ease of maintenance. That’s why Versa-Rack systems are loved by thousands of reptile breeders all over the world.
If you’re thinking about breeding reptiles, we encourage you to research your options and choose the system that’s right for you. No matter what you choose, be sure to practice responsible reptile keeping!
