Hi! I know a lot of other people have already commented, but I wanted to share my experience with keeping tanks secure. I have an escape artist corn snake (named Sandy) so I’ve been through a few options trying to keep her secure. At first, I tried weight like you, but she pushed it open easily and I was worried for her safety if I added any more weight. After that, I got a tank with a sliding top lid- it worked great with a small pin through the lock hole so she couldn’t slide it open (she tried), but that cage got too small, so I had to try something else on her bigger cage. I tried C-shaped clips like these and they worked well for a while (I used them for a year or two), but they were fairly difficult to remove and wouldn’t fit on the next size cage I got. Finally, I found this L-shaped clip. They’re pretty difficult to remove, so I use my awl from my craft supplies (any hard object you can fit between the clip and the cage would work) to pop the clip off. It’s a bit of a pain, but it’s worth it knowing Sandy can’t escape :) They’re easy to put back on. Also, my current tank lid folds back like this style so I only have to remove 2 locks on front to open the lid (I have an additional 4 locks on the back- 1 on each side and 2 on the back). Good luck with your tank!

So the tank looks something similar to what I have (just smaller). Does the lid slide into place? That's what it looks like in the picture at least. I have that, but I also have three locks on mine. One of them is similar to this here. The other two clips are these on amazon .

Now the size of the tank all depends on the snake. We started our retic in a 20G, but have switched him into a custom built enclosure once he outgrew it. From what I have seen, the length + width should be a tad bigger than your snake. I prefer to give them extra wiggle room to grow into, but that's also because all my snakes are super young.

I use these thermometers also from amazon. We place one on the cool, middle, and hot side. Or just the cool and hot side depending on the tank size. My toads use something different though. Since it is a tank, we had trouble keeping humidity in, but getting a larger water dish and using this tape on the OUTSIDE of the tank (so part of the screen and some of the sides) have helped tremendously. We also use a cheaper humidifier from Walmart in the room due to our climate.

I do use heat lamps at the moment until I get switched over to something else. The bulbs we use emit zero lighting and we have them connected to a temperature control thing, also found on amazon.

Now for water, you will need to get reptile drops to take out the bad stuff in tap water. That can be found online or at a local pet shop.

You would just have to modify everything for whatever type of animal you want to get. Also, the small little cage is for crickets. They go into the tubes and that's how you feed them to toads/lizards. Also, I would suggest purchases a snake from a breeder/reptile expo versus a pet store.
