If it's one of those lids that slides on and then locks into place, you shouldn't have any trouble. As long as you get it locked into place.
If it's one of those lids that simply sits on top, that can be trouble. The ones with a plastic frame are the worst. Heat lamps and light bulbs can melt the plastic and deform the lid, making it a security nightmare.
Your snakes may look like they are relaxing in their home but when your back is turned or the lights are out they are looking for lapses in your security system. I've put those kinds of lids on and said the immortal words "there's noway they can get out". Only to be proven wrong.
We get lazy or in a hurry and make a mistake. That's when they exploit the security breach.
They are escape artists. I've gotten rid of all my sit-on-top lids. I've made my own that are more secure.
