My snake keeps escaping from screen lid

My 4-month old male Spotted python keeps escaping at night thru the screen top lid on his glass aquarium. I don't know how he's doing it, since there are two bricks on top of the screen, but I need some advice on what to do to prevent him from continuing to escape out thru the screen top. Thanks.

You really can't. Screen tops are notoriously escape-able. After I had four different snakes go on unauthorized slither-abouts doing the same thing, I switched to racks/tubs and PV enclosures.

Weighing it down can be dangerous because the snake could push it's head out but then not be strong enough to keep the lid up while it pushes the rest of its body out, and you get a crushed snake.

Back in the day I used these and worked well. If top is sturdy you can usually get by with 2 clips. If not then use 4.

I took it one step farther ......and used Velcro on all 4-sides to secure the top so he doesn't get out again. It took me over an hour to find him this morning.......
