So we had a customer the other day have a little trouble assembling a reptile basics rack and he had to send us multiple inquiries for advice. I sent him links to a few videos I could find from other people but he still was having trouble following their videos. Since we were in the middle of adding a few more baby racks ourselves I decided to just make a no nonsense, straight to the point tutorial on how to assemble these racks from start to finish. We will show you how we assemble the Vivarium Electronics VE-6 and VE--2 Racks From Reptile Basics as well as how to install the optional casters.

This is by far the best detailed video on RU-vid about how to build the VE 2 and VE6 racks hands down! I’m going to be getting my first VE6 rack very soon. I have another PVC rack I just sold that fits the FB 20 series tubs but I really want the tub interchangeably. Great video!

It’s my first time ever seeing your channel. I was searching for how to assemble these racks before I buy one. The heat tape part I have seen so many running the heat tape so it is running on the outside of the rack. This is THE BEST instructional video I have seen! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thank you SO much for posting this! I could not figure out how to feed the heat tape for the life of me. The instructions that came with it say to put the plug through the same hole the tape goes through, but the hole isn't tall enough for the plug. This worked fabulously! Three more VE-2's for me to set up!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!! I just bought my first VE2 and VE6 racks from RB. I was having a really hard time with the heat tape, and one of my GRP Discord buddis sent me the link your video. You saved my a** here!! Excellent walkthrough and your techniques are solid!

@americanmadeexoticsllc 11 месяцев назад

Glad I could help! Yes I tried to send a few videos to a customer struggling with one he had and he said all the videos I kept sending him were to hard to follow. Reptile Basics didn't have one on their site that could help either so I made my own to show him how we build them! Figured if It would help him it may help others! Glad I was right! Thanks for watching and thanks for reaching out with the positive feedback!

Wow!! Many thanks!! You did a kick ass job and saved me so much stress. This is the best video I've seen on VE rack installation. Special shout out on the heat tape layout, i was impressed on how clean and organized it was! I'll be sharing your video for sure

I am glad I could help!!! This racks are awesome but I wish somebody had told me to clear that pvc dust out the track before I screwed it together on the first few dozen I built lol

@americanmadeexoticsllc 7 месяцев назад

@kmbreptiles Год назад

Great video. I like these racks and they don’t get the credit they deserve in my opinion. Like you mentioned, I much prefer the VE tubs over the vision tubs and the versatility of each level is great. About to take your idea of putting a VE2 on the bottom stack of my 2 VE6s!

@americanmadeexoticsllc Год назад

it is by far my favorite tub size/rack! Thanks for watching!! I'm glad I could give you a new perspective of having the ve-2 on the bottom!

What an amazing sight seeing a room full of ve6 racks. I love his stuff also, have a ve6 and super70 rack for my colubrids. Great idea using the 2 tub rack on the bottom and having its own dedicated stat.

@@americanmadeexoticsllc What do you think of the durability over time?

@americanmadeexoticsllc 11 месяцев назад

I think these will outlive some of the metal ones. I have not had any issues with them at all

@VetiExotics 11 месяцев назад

@@americanmadeexoticsllc Great to hear that. Would hate to invest in a bunch of these and the super70s for my bulls and pinesnakes and be shot in 5 plus years.

@americanmadeexoticsllc 11 месяцев назад

They are very solid built. I went to deck my whole building out in metal and I do have 1 baby rack from ars. It's empty right now and I just have it in a corner for emergency overflow if I have to many babies. I do not like the tub size from ars or fb compared to the VE racks and that's why my building is half pvc and half metal. I genuinely think these are just better racks. I've used my fair share of pvc too and these just don't feel flimsy at all like some do.

@parkerwhitt1453 6 месяцев назад

Great video as I am thinking on getting some of these racks. Does the taped wire in the top shelf affect the tub roll out at all? Is there a video on setting up the thermostats??

@americanmadeexoticsllc 6 месяцев назад

Not at all! The tubs have a lip and the tape is against the wall below the lip so it never touches it. I don’t have a video setting up the thermostats but that might be a good idea for the future l!

@boltcitybreakers 9 месяцев назад

Just built this and holy moly this video saved me tons of stress !! Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I have a question, in stores I can only find the VE -100 thermostat. Is that okay or should I go ahead and order the bigger ones ?

@americanmadeexoticsllc 9 месяцев назад

I'm glad the video helped!! I think all ve products are great but me personally I love the thermostats with the proportional feature. Instead of cutting on full blast until the probe hits a certain temp and then cuts off the proportional ones dim the electricity to hold the probe steadily at whatever temp you set it to. You can buy all size thermostats from reptile basics directly as well! www.reptilebasics.com/thermostats

I do the exact 2 x11qt then swap to 25qt and then I grow out each of my Leos in Super70 racks

@americanmadeexoticsllc 6 месяцев назад

I love being able to have 1 rack for multiple needs! Back in the day we used to start them in baby racks then have to move them to juvenile racks when they didn’t fit in baby tubs anymore. It’s a lot nicer to just swap tubs around to fit different needs as snakes grow!

@deezgex 7 месяцев назад

I got mine stacked just now but the top one sits a little off to the side on one side and not perfectly flush on the side. It is sitting flush though all the way around on bottom egdes. Ive tried picking it up and re stacking and when I sit it back onto it only sits flush again but very slightly to the left of the bottom rack its ontop of.

@parkerwhitt1453 6 месяцев назад

Some people have said condensation builds up in these racks. Did you have that issue? If so, did you put holes in your tubs?

@americanmadeexoticsllc 6 месяцев назад

I have drilled some ventilation holes in any style or brand pvc racks I have ever used. If you don’t want to use a drill in fear of cracking tubs a soldering iron is a great alternative! Just be sure to do it outside to keep from breathing the smoke.

@rossmortenson5082 Год назад

Great video. How many racks can the thermostat hold

@americanmadeexoticsllc Год назад

I'm not sure. I have 1 probe per rack. I know some people will have a probe on 1 rack and have multiple racks running because they assume the temp should stay similar enough to the one with the probe as the heat cuts on and off BUT my biggest fear is always a fire so I want a probe on every single rack to try and make sure nothing ever gets to hot. So my stacks of 1 ve-2 at the bottom and 2 ve-6 above that have 2 thermostats. A ve-300 (single probe) for the bottom and a ve-300x2 (dual probe) and I send 1 probe to each ve-6.

@rossmortenson5082 Год назад

@@americanmadeexoticsllc thanks for the info i always wandered how that works.

@daaikenator1 10 месяцев назад

so its necessary to install the tape upside down, or does it matter?

@americanmadeexoticsllc 10 месяцев назад

The heat tape does a zig zag down the shelves so both sides of the tape alternate every shelf which side is up and which side is down.

Do these come with the aluminum foil tape?

@americanmadeexoticsllc 7 месяцев назад

They do not I buy that from Lowe’s!

@ProxityProductions 7 месяцев назад

@@americanmadeexoticsllc weird question.. when your sliding your probe in is it layin under the tape straight or sorta crooked? I was gonna tape it above the tape like most racks but I figured I would use the slot for what it’s meant for. Trying to be extra cautious so I’m probably over thinking.

@americanmadeexoticsllc 5 месяцев назад

i utilize the probe slot so it is under the tape and the line is in a Z pattern in the grove. Then i tape over the line in the grove so it can NEVER come out unless I want it to come out. I have over shot putting the probe under the tape before and you just have to play with it to get it in the grove right so it isn't sticking up any. the prove should be under the line going inthe direction the black lines are in the heat tape. It just kind of sticks straight under.
