Question Rubbermaid #2220

Looked at some Rubbermaids lastnight, and I've noticed that most of the sides of them can be lifted somewhat easily.

With a Ball Python, will they lift up the sides and get loose?
I'd hate for my snake to get out due to this enclosure choice.

Thanks in advance.

Yes a ball python can get out. You shold hold down the lid with something. it can be as simple as bungee corns. you could also drill holes through the lip at the top of the rubbermaid and insert s-hooks through them.

bungee corns?

That's a cool sounding morph!
Where can we find 'em? :P

Depending on the type of rubbermaid, I use two different methods of securing the lids. Either extra-large binder clips or with s-hooks. Not sure what kind of lid is on the rubbermaid you mentioned, but here is a pic of what I use. Maybe it will be of help, or give you some ideas...

I use the large binder clips.
