Re: new enclosures

Re: new enclosures
Might need more than the catches, looks kinda like the tub i feed my corns in, my adult one pushes the lid off when she has finished eating without any real effort, woukd hate for you to go to the effort of changing things just for an escape to happen.

Drill the hole on each side then use a bolt with a wing nut works perfected. Also the second tub would be better. If you can find one deeper that be even better.

Re: new enclosures
I'd agree with marvel, plastic is easy to secure. Very forgiving to drill into. Just make sure the containers are big enough.

Re: new enclosures
I have our baby carpet in a small rubbermaid with a locking top. But he is very small and will soon be transferred to a larger enclosure. The problem with the drawer tubs is that there is space above and around the tub, so there is a potential escape point. What you want is something with a secure lid, and ventilation holes. You can secure the top any way you wish really, C-clamps, vice grips, drill holes in the lip and put little clips through it. Anything so that the snake cannot push the top up enough to even get a small opening. They can fit through amazingly small places. I had a 2 year old BP that slithered uner a half inch gap in a closet door. And I had a 4 year old male bp that was eating large rats, (He was a good 2" diameter.) Fit through the handle of a milk jug.
Good Luck! Let us know what you find.
