    I use binder clips to keep the lids on snapping and locking ones, some people use luggage straps as well.

    What kind of snake and what size is it at now?

    A lot of the newer sterilite and rubbermaid tubs have locking lids with latches. So you can get one of those for your next tub.

    What size is your ball now?

    They sure do and they are not secure.
    I had several get out of locking lid tubs before designing a cheapo bookshelf that held the lids from being opened.
    Losing a $1000 snake out of a 34qt sterilite locking lid tub is quite aggravating, I don't suggest trusting them...

    Put your tubs in a rack system, and you will not have to worry about them escaping as long as you remember to push the tubs in all the way.

    Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I don't have experience with them on snakes, but I use them as maternity rat bins. Works great for rats. Haven't had any escapes.
