Open-Top Snake Enclosure

[snakemannadam]

Playing around with a concept. Who would be scared to house a hognose is a setup like this? The snake would be able to reach the top, but barely, so a lip would restrict them from getting over the edge.

I wouldn't trust any open top enclosure for any snake.

If I understand correctly, your design does not include a secure lid.
That being the case, expect your snake to escape the first day.

Unless you properly secure the enclosure your snake WILL escape. Probably day one.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if that's a serious question you've got a lot of research to do before bringing a snake home.

Hognose can be very tricky little snakes too, probably not a good idea for a first snake.

I would be very scared to house a snake in that.
Snakes have this seemingly magical ability to find and use even small holes–so even if it were a short snake, it would find a way to climb around the lip.

Thanks for the replies. No worries, I've had plenty of snakes. I meant to say the snake WOULDN'T be able to reach the top (obviously if the snake could reach the top he'd escape).

Is there a reason for wanting an open-topped enclosure?
