snake escape

equus_peduus said:
maybe this will help... cross section of the tank rim with cover. Extend around all four sides of tank (the lt brown/orange colored piece stayed on the tank at all times, the dk brown+screen came off). The wood I got pre-made at my local Ace hardware, as well as the screen mesh.

The clips I had were quite sturdy, and I made sure by lifting up at various points of my top that it wasn't liftable at any point by me (so tehrefore wouldn't be push-up-able by a 3-foot cornsnake). I used four clips. I also had a 2x8 board across the top of the tank, but mostly to keep my cat from breaking the screen when she sat on top than to secure the lid in any way.

how do get into the cage?
 
I'm not sure of the brand, but my Ball Python is in a tank with a screen top. It does clip, but it also interlocks along the entire length of the sides. No chance of escape unless it's user error on my part.
 
ok so far i've been typing an explanaiton packet like thing with each page being about a problem subject, first page is about why feeding mice to a snake is ok and the second page so far is about if and what to do if they escape. i'm kinda stuck on this one, any more suggestions? you guys are doing great!


(i'm hoping to have a thing for them to read that will show everything to show why snakes are ok in the house, maybe you can help me.)
