    Yes. .25 with a larger surface area will give faster, it will flex. If a Retic or Berm pushes an feels the flex, he's found the way out. Then you have a thousand pieces on the floor. Go to Lowes or what ever store is close. Look at the doors an push on them. Look at the frame. Is it a rubber gasket holding the plate or 1/2" aluminum an gasket? Look at the track, if the snake pushes low will it come out of the track?

    With snakes (any animal/pet) whatever can go wrong will. Had a young Redtail Boa break the glass door on an AP T8. Butthead pushed the plastic water bowl through it. It hit just at the right angle with the edge.

    Good luck an post pics when your done!
