Wondering if anyone knows what kind of lock I can use on this kind of lid? http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/reptile-supplies/vivariums-416/vivarium-lids-573/cle****al-vivarium-lids-12309.html

The glass only slides one way out of it, But at the moment I have brown tape stick across the front to Stop Bam opening it, but it looks horrible! As he is going to be in his current viv for quite some time yet, I dont want the brown tape on it, but cant afford to buy a diffrent viv either, and dont see the point when the one he is in is fine apart from that lid!!!! Any ideas?

Oh and I dont want to use th wedges you can get as this will cause the glass to lift enough for Bam to get through!

We have used a plastic paper binder to seal gap between our two glass sliding doors. Stops Kellog rubbing his nose up and down the gap trying to squeeze through, the result of which was a sore nose! Not sure if it helps at all in your case but I guess any suggestions may help. Maybe a pic would help? xxx

It does work great, except for the red line running down the centre of the glass in the front of the viv - rather noticeable and not great for pics! xxx
