Good job Mad. I'm sure your snakes will appreciate their own rooms

. Are the lids pretty secure on your tubs? Your snakes can't push them off can they? I just set up a tub tonight for a new bull snake I'm expecting and that was my biggest concern. Luckily the tub I found has latches on both sides and both ends. Best wishes.

they are pretty secure. one of them already tried crawling up to the top and looking for an escape and the lid passed the test. i am gonna build a rack system at some point where they will simply slide out an no lid will be required. i already have some of those plastic shelves that stack on top of each other, i just need some plastic to screw to the bottoms to create a "ceiling" and cut the poles down to the correct hight.

Honestly it is not necessary for a corn snake.

No you don't. And even if you did, that'd mean you'd need to tap train even when feeding in a separate enclosure. Feeding inside the enclosure means nothing. The snake does not associate certain places with food. In the wild a corn snake does not associate a rock or a log for example,.. with food. It eats anywhere, anytime. The difference in captivity being, you are moving your snake before and after feeding if you feed in a separate enclosure which is completely unnecessary.
