Switching snakes in cages question (cage stack related)
Hey all, I just added a third animal plastics t8 to my stack and am getting ready to transfer my hog island into it. My question is this, Sunday will be my cleaning day and the day I put my hog island in his cage. Is there any harm is putting the snakes in a different cage (granted I make sure the temps are adjusted for each) The way the stack is now, My BP (sub adult ~4 feet 1500g) is on the bottom, corn in the center (juvi ~36" 150g) and the hog (~6 feet) would be up top. Id like to change it and put the hog on bottom, BP in center and corn on top. Can I change the snakes without restacking the cages?
The reason for wanting to do this is after running a test with the third cage heated, the center cage got the most well rounded heat, and a good floor heat (I use RHP's) and I feel the BP would benefit the best from the little extra ground heat.
If it is a dumb idea id rather someone bluntly say it, thanks in advance!

I honestly see no problem whatsoever. I swap snakes all the time. As long as it''s an established snake that's been quarantined, you should be good to go, especially if your tubs are nice and clean. (from cleaning day)

That's what I figured. All snakes are established and eating well etc. Thanks for the reply!
