Works great and good price!

They work great! I have a ball python and it ran away 3 times before I got it. Now he can't get out at all. They are very easy to use and the first set I bought still works great years later. If you have a large snake or tank I would recommend buying 2 sets (4 clips total). I currently have a narrow/long 55 gallon tank and the Optimus is a good mid-sized snake so a clip on each end works great (they go in the middle). Although you can easily make 2 on each side.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • The list will be long.

The clamps work very well but are difficult to remove

These clamps hold my python in the tank very well. I bought two packs because I have a 55 gallon tank and thought the extra security would be nice. The clamps are flexible so I think they should work with almost any size or type of tank. They're a bit annoying when you have to open and close the tank a lot and you need to have decent finger strength, but I suppose the difficulty in getting the lid off is kind of an issue. I highly recommend getting these clips, especially if you have a Zilla…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not bad

Will not fit all screen covers or tanks

They have the advantage of being able to bend a bit despite being heavy metal. I had to adjust them to work with my tank strainer cap. On the one hand, the clip works well, fits perfectly. However, because the screen cover is only slightly longer than the top of the tank on one end, the other clip doesn't quite grab the edge of the tank. This is mainly due to the poor fit of the screen lid, but I found it worth mentioning. Overall I'm happy with them, I only need 2 of them to hold the screen…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

They are great for reptiles and amphibians

They are great! They work great. My only issue (but I'm not sure if that's really a problem) is that they can't be removed from the tank. I have to rip them off with a butter knife every time I need to get in the tank (which isn't much for a hamster) and it's quite annoying, but if you have an escape master or a stronger animal than a hamster you're holding try it will probably be a plus for you. I just wish they had a less super maxed version that's easier to pull through 😂 Plus, they work…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
