    How do i keep my snake from dissapearing?

    I want to make a secure tub setup for an adult bp. What size and how do you keep them secure. I bought two tubs and had them all setup i used velcro to secure them but my guy escaped for about a week or so. Any ideas and pictures would really help. Im getting a new bp this week and need to get it setup soon!

    and these luggage straps i get mine from the dollar store. they work great! wallmart also carries them.

    i could never get those binder clips to work... the lid just slipped open
