In a rack system I don't think they are really necessary. Tubs are usually small and dark enough to affored them some security. If you use tanks(aquariums) or larger enclosures I think you should have something to hide in so they have that same security. That being said, individual snakes will sometimes require different situations. Some NEED that hide for security, some don't care one way or the other. As a general rule of thumb though, start out with them and work it out between ya's from there. JMO.
