A warning for everyone who relies on binder clips....

Down with the sickness
Of course this is just to say what most of us already know. Just about nothing is escape proof for corns. One of my 02's that is housed in a rubbermaid box lined with six binder clips shoved off the top regardless and escaped. Now luckily this box happend to be on a shelf of a rack that was just made for bigger bins (hence that is why he had to have the lid secured)....and this rack has doors on the front that I shut when I am not tending to them. So even though he escaped, he was confined to that shelf. Thinking it was a fluke and I didn't secure the clips right, I put him back and this morning he was cruising the shelf again. He must be pretty darn strong. I think he is smelling some of my younger females that are coming into season a little later. Goes to show, where there is a will, there is a way. So you may still want to put some weights on top of those bins as well. :)
 
WOW!

It does sound like a strong snake you've got there. I'm just curious... what size of binder clips are you using?

They are only about an inch or so, but there were six of them. It is only a shoe box container so I coudn't get anything bigger to latch on. However, this is only an 02 and he is not very big since he is part Upper Keys and I don't feed my males as much. I guess it is time to move him into a bigger tub since he is so strong for his size!
 
I totally understand, I've got an 02, she's pretty small, but clips do nothing to keep her in, we lost her for 2 1/2 months when I took the weights off. Now she's got 16 lbs of weights on top and although she regularly tries to escape she's secure for now. . .I'll have to increase the weights soon I'm sure.
