Tub locking pins?

[IsmQui718]

Hey everyone,

This may very well seem like a silly question, but does anyone use tub locking pins in their racks? I saw the racks at Reptile Basics had them, but wondered how effective they were. I tried searching on here, but couldn't find any thread on them. I'm sure I missed it.

Ross from Beager Boxes said they were screen door latches, but the ones I've found online look nothing like these.

Thanks in advance!

These are the type of pins I've been looking for! Just don't know the actual name of them! Arrrrggg!!!! lol

They're effective but not really necessary in a rack that has been built properly with an appropriately sized snake living in the tub. Honestly, I think they're more effective at calming nervous keepers (or the keepers' significant others).

I totally agree. However, I have friends and family who are overly nervous about snakes. So I needed something simple, but effective at easing their minds. A dedicated snake room isn't an option until he future. :-/

I've seen DIY racks with golf tees in the holes instead of the pins, for the same purpose.

I use the binder type clips for my 16 qt tubs. They are easy on and easy off, and are used to prevent the tubs from sliding out in case of an earthquake here in SoCal.

I have a similar setup and was looking for the same thing. I took that white piece (the name still escapes me) to Home Depot and they pointed me to what I needed. What I purchased were shelf pins. Similar but not the same as the white ones. You can search for shelf pins on Amazon as well.

Some areas require it by law as well.
