I'm not being funny but this is probably why your'e being paranoid, that isn't a "RUB"

That's just, by the looks of it, an "unsnake" proof plastic tupperware box.

No offence meant by the way I'm only trying to help!

No offence taken chuck.
Originally I had a RUB (the official Really Useful Box).
I noticed after a lot of over the top scrutiny that there is a slight gap on either side and above and having seen the size of housie hatchlings I'm pretty sure they be able to either escape or at least get trapped in the lid area.
I've read of it since I started the thread too.
This box has a lid that clips firmly to the base on 4 sides and theres no gaps at all (air tight).
If you can see a problem though then I'd be happy to hear of it as I want the best for my future snake.

I think it will be fine. My older corns are now in plastic tubs, rather than official rubs but I have just added some stuff to make them more secure.

You don't have to use RUBs
