Yellow apparently learned how to slide open the glass door of his T8 last night...

[tttaylorrr]

i woke up this AM and looked over at his enclosure to see the door open and i freakin' panicked. thankfully he always goes beneath the T8 in the gap it has above the dresser so i found him right away, safe and sound. i know i slid the doors closed earlier; i didn't forget. Yellow had to have figured it out...i've seen him try before, but never thought he could actually do it.

to those who have T8 enclosures: i don't have a lock on my doors, so what can i do to secure them?

I have the built in lock for mine, but this style of lock would work I believe. You just slide the hooked end onto the glass. They have them where I volunteer.

i never got the lock bc i don't have to worry about anyone getting in there, but now i guess i gotta worry about Yellow getting out.

i found the exact same lock as the one you linked on amazon and bought it. thank you for the help!

One thing I found out after installing it........I accidentally "adhered" it too high on the glass as to not block my viewing but in doing so, it does not allow me to remove the glass anymore. Just a tidbit when installing.

dowels in the tracks should work until the lock arrives.
