I would have to say No to those. They have a adhesive back.
"There's no way that a snake could get stuck to one of those, right?" Don't count on it. I'd try to come up with something else. Just my opinion.

You're right, I hadn't thought it through. I was just thinking that it would work for applying to the bottom of the tank. He would definately need something else to secure it to the bottom of the carpet, an epoxy glue might work there.

Unless there is also a problem with toxicity of adhesive tapes/glues, in which case I need to reevaluate my own setup since I have secured a couple items to the glass using double sided tape.

Tape is tape. The edges come up. The little scrubs work their noses under an edge.
Tape in any form can be a disaster waiting to happen. At the cost of the snake.
Most epoxies and glues have a curing time and it should be adhered to. After that time most are harmless so they say.

Clever wording, Steve, that made me smile!

It wasn't intentional it just happened. Since I didn't plan it I couldn't take any credit.

why would you want to glue something like that to the bottom of the tank?
it'll be impossible to clean at all
this is something like astroturf, right?
regardless
I cannot see how you would glue any kind of fiber product on the bottom of your tank and not end up with problems

I didn't opt for tape. I'm using green outdoor carpeting, with rocks holding down the corners I have moved five of my group into this aquarium, and they seem to be enjoying the extra space.

I moved them out of the rack system, because it takes forever to go through all four tubs.

As you guys can see I've been toying with the idea of selling all my Puget Sounds. This is mainly due to some personal changes I've been going through lately. I've got a lot of personal clutter in my life and I've been trying to figure out what's worth keeping around. They make me smile a lot so I'm not sure I'll actually be able to go through with parting with them.

Yeah, I saw your ad. You're already having doubts. That tells me you'll probably regret it, even if only for a little while. Don't sell them all, that's my advice.
