What Can You Do To Help Secure Your Snake In Your Reptile Enclosure

Keeping snakes secure can be particularly difficult, especially if the snake is small and can fit through the smallest of openings. Owners of pet snakes may run into issues keeping these little escape artists safely contained inside of their enclosure. At Zen Habitats, we have designed our enclosures with large and small animals in mind, to ensure the safety of pets of all sizes. In this article, we will explore how the Zen Habitat utilizes several safety features that contribute to maintaining the security of your pet snake within a Zen Habitats enclosure.

1. Wire Lock: One of the key security features of Zen Habitats enclosures is the inclusion of a simple wire lock. This lock ensures that the sliding glass doors remain securely closed, minimizing the risk of accidental openings and potential escapes. The wire lock prevents even the most persistent of animals from pushing open their sliding doors.

2. Door Wraps: Zen Habitats enclosures also come with door wraps, which play a crucial role in preventing escapes, particularly for small snakes. These wraps securely attach to the sliding doors using super glue, effectively reducing the gap between them. By minimizing the space between the doors, the chances of a snake squeezing through is sharply reduced, offering an extra layer of security. Door wraps can also help prevent the instance of the doors bowing over time.

3. Solid Grommet: To address the potential escape routes within the enclosure, Zen Habitats enclosures are equipped with a solid grommet. This feature ensures that small snakes cannot escape through the wire grommet hole. By replacing the standard wire grommet with a solid one, Zen Habitats eliminates any possibility of a small snake slipping through, increasing the overall security of the enclosure.

Ensuring you have a secure environment is essential for the safety of pet snakes, and Zen Habitats enclosures offer practical solutions to minimize the risk of pets escaping. By investing in a Zen Habitats enclosure and utilizing these optional security features, you can enjoy a stress-free snake keeping experience by providing your reptiles with an escape proof, tranquil habitat.
