I am soon picking up a 5 month old L.Williamsi and want to make sure my tank is escape proof. I will be using an exo terra and have heard that there are way to modify exo terras to be baby escape proof. I remember seeing information to do this but I can't seem to find it now that I need it. I am a visual person so if someone has photos of how they did this, that would be most helpful but any tips will help.
Thanks!

This is what i did: silicone the bg in, silicone the gaps around and at the bottom of the bg, silicone or hot glue the little sliders at the top shut. Silicone or glue screening over the vent space. I'm not sure if you would need to add something to the door to keep the gaps from being an escape route. Others will know more than me, but that is just what i did (minus the door mods) for my little guy.

bg = background

here is a pic of the finished viv... I can't find the process pics though. sorry. the whole bg is sealed all the way around, with the gaps at the top and bottom filled in with silicone. I also glued the sliders shut (for the cords). There is screen on the vent area that has been siliconed on also.
