Have got the bug and am looking to get my next snake already. Planning on sharing a large heat mat between 2 RUB's, drilling tiny holes in them and one bigger one for the heat sensor.

My question is, are RUB's secure enough or do I need to buy sone kind of lock for it. I think the brand name RUB's are already lockable, but was thinking more supermarket own brand if it's doable.

My OH has already promised to build me a bookcase style set of vivs when it comes to then needing more room when they grow.

Thanks

RUBs don't need locks but it's the airgap around the top of the box/underneath the lid that is the issue with smaller corns, other non-RUB tubs can be secured with a couple of nuts and bolts through drilled holes

if you are using own brand storage tubs rather than the brand RUBs then they will need secured. I used huuuuge massive bulldog clips to keep my own brand ones securely shut xx
