Floorless Tents and Creepy Crawlies

[Reporchie]

I’m new to floorless tents but want to try it out this year to save weight. I’ll be in New Mexico so my main concern is snakes, ants, and others. I figure it won’t be an issue during November and for summer scouting I should be good as long as I don’t set up on a snake hole or ant hill.

Just looking for advice, validation, experiences, etc.

my limited November experience in NM would be a heck no for floorless tents. Spiders and scorpions creep me out more than snakes and ants.
