Well I am one of those people that uses rack systems. Let me tell you though, just because you have a rack system doesnt mean that you have to give them no hides, newspaper, and total darkness. I use rack systems with all of our snakes and we provide them with great setups. Just like Gus posted a while back, all of our snakes are housed with aspen, some reptibark. We give them a nice large water dish adequate to there size. We also give them a nice clay pot hide, with 2 or 3 artificial plants.
Yes it gets pricey to get all 200-400 of those setup, but its worth it in the end because you feel that the snakes are in the best setups that they can be in currently.
What I have noticed though is snakes that are brought up in tanks are better off in tanks. Most snakes who are in tanks get stressed easy due to everyone trying to view. I have had feeding problemed snakes that were in tanks move over into tubs and they had zero problems after that.
Although I think if you have the tanks already ready and they are using them fine, I would stick to that and just build a hatchling rack.
