Ditch the fish tank/screen top and either get a rack or a correct reptile enclosure.
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.
