Agreed. A Boa is way more likely to push the door open than a ball python, but even a kingsnake can throw some curve balls haha!Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I believe you...snakes have nothing else to do besides test their cage while they wait for their next "room service meals". I didn't mean to imply that a BP couldn't do
it, just that I pictured it being more likely to happen with a BCI, mostly because they get bigger and they're more active. Also, some sliding glass doors slide much
easier than others. I used to have Neodesha (slant front) enclosures with sliding glass doors...when the tracks were clean & oiled, the glass skid easily. Except for the
fact that I always 'locked' them (with a simple peg in the hole)...'cause I'm just "no fun".
I had a neodesha cage for 16yrs with an acrylic door and when opening it would often squeal and vibrate the cage regardless of the condition of the track, and was annoying as could be in that regard, though very easy to look into and clean and move/transport compared to pvc enclosures.
Back to OP’s topic. Spring for the lock. Worst scenario you spend $20. Best scenario you have well secured critters
