Don't have an exact number, but around 60 or 70. They can't be too stressed considering most have never missed a meal since I've had them.

;) you're one of the big breeders.

So what you are saying is it would be ok to put a snake in a tub and leave it be without hides?

as far as i know i think some breeders dont use hides- that or prehaps just for breeding the animals. then again those tubs are smallish.

Not a big breeder, but I don't see a problem with it if it doesn't affect their feeding. There are 3 BPs that I have crumpled up paper in the tub with them so they feel more secure. They wouldn't eat without some sort of hide, so I put the paper in to make them feel more secure. Had to do that with 2 hatchlings and a w/c female.

If I had them in a regular cage, or in a more opened rack (my racks are all black and the only light that goes in is from the front of the tub) then I would certainly give them hides.

Just as well it wasn't me. I would have raised the riot act with her!!!

I'd rather go without myself than have my snakes go hungry:mad:
