Those clips work for a while - until they wear out and they don't. Snakes are a lot stronger than they look and they are escape artists. Usually they get loose at the worst time too.

If you can't afford that then I would suggest non-elastic nylon luggage straps to secure the top, they're $7 at WalMart. Bungies stretch and usually your snake ends up getting stuck halfway out with a bunch of scales ripped off its back by the time you find it.

Straps are a 100% guarantee.

As a temporary fix i got another set of snaps at petsmart since i had to return the broken thermometer and pick up mice anyway. She seems to have gotten the point as well, she has stopped pushing on the top lol. On a side note though, she did break my coffeepot. :(
