>>Anyone have any idea how to modify an ARS cb70 slot to keep Escape artist Rubber Boas secure?
>>
>>I'd like to Mod the slot with out altering the ARS 7010 Rack.

>>I was thinking some type of 1/4" flexible plastic molding around the tub as a shim to reduce the gap to just enough to slide open the tub?
>>
>>A plastic shim of some type affixed to the rails on either side to reduce the gap to just enough to slide the tub in and out?
>>
>>I may have to put a sheeet of plexi-glass over the top to prevent small ones from exiting through the vent holes? I guess I could unibit smaller holes in the Tub itself?
>>
>>Keeping them in a Slot in a Rack would make maintenance easier at this point . Thanks for any ideas. I'm stumped.

My 7030 has c channel around the entire perimeter save the front. Not that I had escape artists but I did use some spring clamps to hold shut a couple tubs with flighty animals. Just in case a curious individual or myself pulled it open un-suspecting.

The clamp would hold the tub against the front and prevent most escapes.

If that is not an option go to a Hobby shop and get some styrene sheets of appropriate thickness and just shim the channel. You could hold the styrene in place easily with tape.
