I realize that people with lots of snakes keep theirs in large Tupperware containers with holes drilled in the sides. But for people with just a few that keep theirs in aquariums, what is the best, most secure top? The reptile aquariums with a sliding top with a loop for a lock are good as far as i can tell but they are a lot more expensive than a plain aquarium. And the plastic top as Wal-Mart used for reptiles, hamsters, etc for 10-gallon aquariums have plenty of potential breaking areas in the plastic so a snake to get out some day. Metal mesh lids seem good but they have no locking mechanism. So, how do you lock the top of an aquarium so a venomous snake cannot get out and nosy people can't easily get in and bitten?
