Screen lid of tank

Hi guys,

A friend of a friend offered to sell me a tank he no long needs for a reasonable price. Its 30" L X 12" W by X 15" H (approximately). Only thing is it doesnt have a sliding screen lid. It has a regular screen lid you can lift off. My question is how is the best way to secure this type of lid? I was looking online for screen cover clips, but I was wondering what you gurs would recomend.

Thanks in advance
 
Clips are good if they fit not all clips fit all lids, but them local so you can try them out.

Do you recommend a specific type or brand? I really want to make sure the snake doesnt get out.

Here you go. Both work, depending on the type of lid

Very inexpensive, too. May even be able to find at PetCo or PetSmart.

Wayne gave you good sources, but I must say my experience with clips is bad. Every escape I had was from a clip that I didn't get on correctly. I have a green thumb but am all thumbs. On tubs I would use binder clips they worked fine. All the vivs that had non-sliding lids were converted to wooden lids that fit snugly inside of lip with air holes and screen.
 
Can't go wrong with a nice heavy weight to keep it shut, only thing is you don't want your heat lamp setting your encyclopedia on fire. (Don't ask)
 
Thanks guys. I think I will put on the clips and also put some bricks or something heavy on the edges. Can never be too careful :)
