Those reptariums are useless for housing snakes.
Sooner or later it will locate where the zipper ends and the snake will get out!

Hello,

I have to agree with Merlin on this one. In addition to the zipper, if there is the smallest tear in the reptarium at any point, the snake can force a larger tear by trying to force its way through the opening.

Reptariums are ideal for chameleons, and thats why they are primarily used for them. They are not designed to house snakes adequately.

I currently am using one for a snake, I find the easiest thing to do is:

Line the sides/back/bottom with plastic [like plastic for windows] as it keeps in the heat/humidity better. Then for the zippers I use a twist tie to keep them together (so even once the snake locates them, they are unable to get the cage to open)
