"These clips are secure, they screw into the tank lid so I know that they're stable. And not once has any of my reptiles come close to escaping."

— James

"I do not know why these are $15 they are trash I should’ve read the other reviews before I purchased."

Bottom Line

These clips are suitable for those willing to tackle installation challenges, but for most users, the complexity and cost do not justify the benefits.
