please please please, PLEASE do. i will send you some myself if that's what it takes to secure your baby. don't make my mistakes!!!

So glad there was a quick happy ending. Snakes are great escape artists and will find the tiniest openings that we wouldn’t think they could squeeze through. I’ll agree that if you keep snakes long enough, you are bound to experience an escapee at some point. We’re all human and can get interrupted or distracted and can forget to latch an enclosure...or the snake finds a flaw in the enclosure and uses it.

I use those on two of my enclosures. They're solid. You may need to bend them a bit to get them to hold the lid down tight, but it's a simple tweak. Once they're in place they are extremely reliable.

I have these for my 1 glass tank (sand boa), and they're great. Pretty sure the instructions tell you to bend them to fit tight since the base piece can slide in more or less on some tanks and/or have slight differences between manufacturers. :)
