So, I've ordered the tubs for my first snake rack! 10 x 14 Litre tubs.

Im going to be making the rack from laminated chipboard. The thing is, i wanted a lidless rack and dont particularly want to put ventilation holes in all the tubs.

I've seen a couple people use no tubs but leave a tiny space between the wood and the top of the tub. Thing is, i dont know how to keep that gap whilst im drilling the wood and i dont know how much to have between the tub and the wood?!

Any answers or help on building a rack would be great!

Hi
I would not leave a gap. The boxes need to slide smoothly though.
Use a soldering iron for the holes, very quick and easy.
