Magnets, HOW DO THEY WORK!!!

Quite well actually...

So back in may i built a big set of cages for an import and i have been dicking around for a month on how to set up the locking mechanisms, finally came up with an idea a few weeks ago, and after a long delivery time, installed my magnet seals yesterday!

Took a long time of messing around to find the combination that actually worked. the final arangement, one on the outside of the lexan, one on the inside on the lexan, a small sheet of metal attached to the wood with ANOTHER magnet behind it. Dont have the tools to test the pull but it feels like over 10 pounds of pull.



Have a sub adult and an adult blue tongue skink in them now, these tanks are only for small/medium sized lizards like skinks and beardies, maybe a uro or 2

Interesting. I haven't owned many lizards so I don't know how much they can bench. Cool idea.

That's a pretty sweet idea but not sure I would trust that on a full grown retic

Hah me either, not using it for any snakes that can push on the back wall or get leverage.
