I just happen to have one of those sitting right beside me that I store papers and such in. I have toyed with the idea of making something like these a rack but decided against it. You can't really tell by just looking at it but if you feel in between the tubs there are fairly large gaps in between one tub and the other. Plenty of room for a small snake to get out of easily. And though I wouldn't say that they have much room for a lets just say juvie ball python, as flimsy as these things are a persistant one that size could probably push itself into that gap also.
