    Locking Bins?????

    I need to know how i could lock a bin for one of my snakes! I got the tub with a locking lid, but i feel he could squeeze through the sides as they lift up a bit with some pressure... How could i lock the sides up?

    binder clips -- http://www.officemax.com/catalog/sku...i_sku=21258283

    or bungee cords -- http://www.traditioncreek.com/storef...ngee_cords.jpg just watch your eyes when you're taking these bad boys off. lol

    I'm not sure what kind of tub you have, but I'm assuming just the regular tub with the snap on lid.

    There are tubs you can buy that have these things on the sides where you just put on the lid and you take the things on the sides and put them on top of the lid so that the lid cannot come off or lift up. Sorry if that was a horrible description, but here's a pic of what I'm talking about:

    Something kinda like this: http://chaos.trader.name/wp-content/...-latch-box.jpg

    I really need these LOL.

    I think bungie cords would work best, I personally just stack a couple cases of beer(homebrewed that is aging) on top of my top tub... planning on a melanine rack set up as soon as I can afford to build it (first one will be three tubs wide by four tubs tall all 28qt tubs with back heat).
