    Go to the fabric section and/or the camping section of your local Walmart or whatever. They'll sell nylon belt/strap material and buckles that you can use.

    Which I would assume go around the entire enclosure correct?

    What about using those bungee cord things, you could wrap a few of those around the enclosure. And than just unhook them to open it.

    Yea, I have to use it on one of mine & it's just a strap normally used for wrapping around a sleeping bag or something like that. Works great.

    Or you can use your soldering iron to make holes and use Velcro strips that are pretty darn secure (especially if you use a few instead of one) and yet easy to undo. That's how I secure the cage for my larger crested geckos, not that they're as strong as pythons, but it should work for snakes as well.

    What are the measurements on that tub & where, exactly, would one go about attaining one??

    Hope my responses are helpful. :) I think the 116 qt. containers are just fine for a good long time. If you end up with a 5' ball python, you probably want to up-size, but for a hatchling or juvenile, they are absolutely more than adequate. There are a number of good approaches for security, just pick the one that's right for you.

    But yeah, I'm going to buy one or two of the 116qt. tubs. I hope I can find a bigger cage.
