Door lock on T8?

[RobertsKitty]

I am planning on purchasing a T8 for Loki very soon and I was wondering, I saw the option for a door lock. I am getting sliding doors. Is a lock required to keep Loki from letting himself out?

Yes.

I don't think a ball python will be able to push the glass doors open but for me the lock is a guarantee that I'll never walk away with the door slightly cracked enough so they could squeeze out. It's worth it to get the lock I wouldn't order the tank without one.

I think you would be (unpleasantly) surprised at how strong they are, and what they can get out of. They don't call snakes escape artists no nothing!

Well then it's a good thing I got the lock on my t8 lol it's just hard to believe that they could push open pretty heavy glass doors with barely any grip on them

I have locks on both of mine and honestly don't use them. They're a pain to actually use. No escapes yet. *knock on wood*

I don't trust the cage itself but you're point is right--if you've put the lock in you know you didn't leave it open a crack for them to push it open more and get out.

I also like that it guarantees my cats will not get in. If I had a little kid over or something (which never really happens) they'd also be good to have.

There is no way a BP could open the doors on a T8. I have locks on all of my AP cages but they are to keep other people out not the snakes in.

Until I put some finger pulls on the doors, even I couldn't get those heavy doors open. There's no way a BP could push them open.

Seriously AP should just ship the cages with a set of these: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/...l-door-handle/
