Lightbulb Help please!

We have a corn snake approx 3-4 months old. He is currently being kept in an Exo Terra Faunarium - the large flat ones (approx 17cm height). My problem is, is that whenever we need to clean/feed/handle the whole lid has to be popped open and our clever little snakey has sussed that this only means one thing - freedom!!! As I pop open one side and then go to the other the little wotsit is up on the part open side ready to hurl himself into the gap. So I was wondering whether I would be better off buying a RUB with deeper sides. What do you think? How far can they go in an upwardly direction on sheer sides?
Would really appreciate any suggestions else he's going to be an escapee....
