I have never trusted those types of tops. they are great for lizards but worthless for snakes. I have 2 big problems with them, they are split on the corners so smaller snakes can actually work through there, and they also leave the inside rim of the tank exposed which allows a snake to get between the rim and the lid making it easier to get leverage to pry open the top.

The newer tank tops are the reason I built a rack type enclosure. Bad part is now I have a lot more snakes due to the extra room, ok so maybe its not that bad.
