What's keeping your bp from breaking out?

Thesauruses, dictionaries, novels, any heavy books I can spare. I'm planning on installing latches on my cage, but for now the books work.He's gotten out twice, but since the books are on I haven't had any escapes.

The great thing about the glass critter cages is that they have a place to insert a lock. I put mini padlocks on them. Never had an escape from them the tanks.

Critter Cage ++

It has a screen lid that slides in on runners and two locking clips built in to the back, plus the hole for a lock in the front, like Melanie said. We don't put locks in ours, just long black screws that fit nicely.

I also use a safety pin when I misplace the locks. O_o Work just as well.

im planning to get the 20 gallon critter cage pretty soon.. is it nessecary to add anything to it to make it more secure?

I never had a lock on Ophelia's tank for about a year or so, but I think that the extra precaution is always a good thing. You can buy the mini locks at Wal-Mart for $5-$6. Who knows, your scalekid could just be extra fiesty and find a means to get out. The few extra bucks spent is a nice little way to keep your self sane.

i have a couple mini padlocks... thats not what i mean.. i mean should i put anything on top so the screen top is not moveable in anyway?

i.e weights , rocks , books anything like that?

The Critter Cages have the plastic securesque locks, but the padded lock is all you'd probably need after that.

thanks. thats good i really hate the tacky way it looks with 2 purple 10 pound weights at each side of the top of the screen

Haha. You can make glass vivs both secure and non-tacky all at the same time. Ain't it great?!
