Americas best Racks - Freedom Breeder Reptile Racks - now available in Australia

[ReptileRacksAust]

Hi all,

We are the Australian distributor for Freedom Breeder Racks, and are glad to see our appearance at the Sydney Reptile Expo two weeks ago generated so much interest and discussion.

The official launch of Freedom Breeder in Australia was at the Sydney Expo. Although Freedom Breeder racks are new to Australia, they have been a market leader in the reptile industry in the states for almost 20 years. We have prices listed on our website for both Reptile and Rodent Racks. If you are interested in any other product from the Freedom Breeder product range (www.freedombreeder.com) just email us for a price. Please be patient with us as we are still developing our website www.reptileracksaustralia.com.au, and are constantly adding more information.

All racks are completely modular with every level being removable, meaning you can order racks that are higher or lower than the standard racks or simply start with a few levels and add level by level as your collection grows. Certain racks can also be mixed and matched.

All Complete Racks come with a Base, Wheels, one Heat Panel per level, Habistat Pulse Proportional Thermostat, Power Board, and your choice of Ventilation Insert (100%, 50%, 25%). The Heat Tape built into the Heat Panels run on 220-240 volt (not the 110 volt used in America). All power leads are fitted with Australian standard plugs, not the North American ones that the demo racks at the Sydney Reptile Expo had.

If you have any questions about the various racks, post them here or email us ([email protected]), and we’ll answer you ASAP. If you saw the demo racks at the Sydney Reptile Expo, tell us what you thought. If you’re one of the people who went to the trouble of bringing these racks into Australia over the last few years, I would really like to hear your feedback / thoughts about your racks, pictures of them in use would also be great to see.

We are very happy to finally be able to offer Australian reptile keepers a complete range of reptile and rodent racks, and a choice / alternative to what’s been available until now.

What's the deal with freighting these units Phil? Is it expensive to get them freighted interstate?

and is possible to get the habistat dimming themostat instead of the pulse?

 

[krefft]

Good luck with it Phil.
They are by far the best rack on the market. It's great to see that they will now be easily available here.
Thanks also for donating one in the charity auction at wild expo.

Different Habistat Thermostats are available on these racks with slight price adjustments, just request the Habistat model that you want, and I'll happily provide pricing. The standard Habistat Dimming Thermostat, for e.g., would be an additional $10, the Night Eye compatible Pulse Proportional Thermostat would be an extra $15.

Freight is possible all around Australia, but due to the racks size/weight, it can be a little expensive. Having said that, Single stack racks can be freighted to Sydney / Adelaide for $130, and larger / wider racks can be freighted for about $210. Freight to Brisbane is between $150-280.

How is the heating for the racks modified to run on Oz power? Is it done at Freedom Breeder or does your company do it here?

 

[ReptileRacksAust]

Freedom Breeder is installing 240 volt heat tape in all heat panels being sent to us, not their standard 110 volt heat tape. Apart from using Habistat Thermostats instead of Ranco Thermostats (Ranco is also available), nothing is being converted or retro fitted once in Australia.

 

[Jungletrans]

lf they go to minimum enclosure sizes as they have been sugesting , wont these be illegal ?

Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, Ranco can be wired for 240 volt also.

Freedom Breeder racks offer a complete range of cage sizes for all types of snakes, from the small hatchling tubs right up to the massive Jumbo 96” (240x90cm floor space) used in the US for large Boas and Anacondas. Freedom Breeder are the only reptile racks available in Australia that offer such a large range of cage / tub sizes, and their Jumbo range has 3 cage sizes larger than any other rack producer. The smallest Jumbo Rack has tubs with a floor area 20% larger than Slitherin / Vision’s Python rack tubs.
It would really surprise me if the minimum enclosure size laws are actually brought in, but with such a large range of cage sizes to choose from, you can always choose a larger sized tub/rack for the snakes you want to keep in them.

i like these racks iv been eyeing them off on snakebytestv, what model would you suggest to be use as grow outs for various spp of carpets say in the 1-2 yr range, and also for adult carpets of 3+ years

 

[Ozzie Python]

those jumbo racks look great for aspidites.

are the hatchie rack tubs clear or have a window? hard to see from the pictures.

great that there is another rack supplier in oz. i have been hoping that someone would start bringing these over.

 

[Kenshin]

jumbo racks they keep burms and retics in em, good for olives and possibly scrubs?

Hi Kenshin,
The Large Frame FB17” and FB27” racks would be the best for 1-2 year old carpet pythons, with smaller / slower growing species more suited to the 17”, and the larger / faster growing ones in the 27” tubs. The 17” / 27” are the widths measured in inches, as the racks are American, the full tub sizes converted to cm’s are:

Large Frame 17” = 44.5 x 85 x 21cm (Width x Depth x Height) – 7 tub racks are $1590
– 21 tub racks are $3790
Large Frame 27” = 70 x 85 x 21cm (Width x Depth x Height) – 7 tub racks are $2190
– 14 tub racks are $3590

For adult carpets pythons, the best rack would be the Jumbo 48” or for a little more space you could go up to the Jumbo 66”. The full tub sizes converted to cm’s are:
Jumbo 48” = 122 x 76 x 23.5cm (Width x Depth x Height) – 6 tub racks are $2,990
Jumbo 66” = 167.5 x 76 x 23.5cm (Width x Depth x Height) – 6 tub racks are $3,490

Olives and Scrubs would be fine in the Jumbo 93”, this rack would also be pretty good for larger monitors etc.
Jumbo 93” = 236 x 92.5 x 40.5cm (Width x Depth x Height) – 6 tub racks are $3,590

Ozzie Python,
The Hatchie / Small tubs are actually opaque, and have no windows. I actually prefer opaque tubs for hatchies, as I think it gives them a greater sense of protection / shelter.
The internal tub size of the Hatchie tubs are:
20.5 x 50.5 x 9.5cm (Width x Depth x Height)

 

[PerfektPairing]

Phil,
Just curious as to wether the tubs are available to be purchased seperate???
Cheers

Is there a suggestion that there will be minimum enclosure sizes impose in Victoria by "they"? who's they and where has the suggestion come from?

Not Victoria , NSW , and they were discussed at length in many threads on this very forum . This distributor is in NSW so l was interested in what would happen if this law was passed .

Jungletrans, Reptile racks australia are based in victoria.
