Actually, melting small holes in the container with a "soldering gun" is the best way. It doesn't make a mess like drilling does, plus it also makes the holes smooth so it doesn't allow the snakes to rub against the edge and hurt themselves if they force their snouts into the holes as snakes many times do.

One word of caution,.....use a VERY small soldering tip(some use a small nail that is heated) that is no bigger than 1/8 of an inch. This is the preferred method of making holes in containers by the majority of herpetoculturists, me included.
