This is amazing. I had my new girl fall twice.. about a foot because she hangs out on the little handle part of the tub. She won't be able to fit there much longer though. She's still alive!

Like Josh said, nobody is dangling the snakes off the top of a building before letting them so they can determine if concrete is a forgiving surface. That's how you're all acting.

About the original post, missing their space, everyone just says: "They'll feel secure." I agree. But mostly you'll feel better about cramming a ton of snakes into a room of your house by putting them in 12qt tubs. I THINK that should only be temporary for hatchlings awaiting a new home.

How about balls in the wild? All they have is ..whatever they squeeze into in order to feel safe. That's why they're given hides.

I'm going to go out and say this, no one will be able to tell me different because I'm sure none of you have tried it, I bet a ball python could live in my house and roam all over IF it had sufficent conditions: hides, humdity, temps, etc.
A lot of people act like these snakes will perish if they're not kept in a tiny enclosure.

You could lock me in a warm closet and give me food, I'll trust that no one will sneak up on me and kill me, but i'm still not going to like it.
