I have a very large tank for my escape artists, but that didn't stop my first rosy from escaping into the great beyond. I wised up and made sure I had better latch clips and weights when I got my new pair, Bonnie and Clyde.

I now have a breeding pair of het. albino rosys, and both have tried the escape factor, but have not succeeded. I have metal screen lids which we had to rig to fit this tank, 4 clips for each lid, and I also use 1 pound lead weights in the corners for extra weight.

Good luck, and I hope you don't have a great Houdini like mine. lol
