I would say NO , but make sure the gap is snug as a bug in a rug

i am not worried so much about escape,,,becuse right now i have them in 32 qt tubs (except for a hatchling),,i was just wondering if it would stress the snake out having suc a large floor space,,,thanks

Hide is the key word .....good luck they dont need the space and actually appreciate the seclusion so give em a stouffers box or a snug hide and they can still stretch and pasture in those cb70s

they all have 2 snug hides,,i think i might just put each in a smaller container that fits width wise,,,,,and when they grow ,,switch to the CB70s,,,

I'm getting ready to move my adult brooks to a rack system - should I be looking at cb70 tubs or can I get by with a 32qt tub?

alot of people keep them in 32 qt,,,that is what i have them in now,,,i am buying the CB70s because i have some Pits that need more room,,,,
