*****************************************************************************

We are creating a new section in our museum with lots of cool natural history objects on display. We are planning to tuck our residient hissing cockroaches and snakes (not together!) on a couple of the shelves. Part of the exhibit will include nifty drawers with more cool stuff, but we are concerned about the effect of slamming drawers, especially on the snakes. So we're looking for suggestions/tips on cushioning the drawers or something else that will make this less stressful for our scaly friends. 

feel free to reply off-list, and thanks for your advice
