Questions & Answers

Will warping the screen material occur if the heating lamp is directly applied to the screen?

It is made out of heavy duty steel instead. The two heat lamps I have (100 and 150 watts) do not cause my computer any problems.

An Exo Terra front open door aquarium that measures 36 x 18 inches is available for sale. Given that it says hinged door on this top, is this the top made for the tank?

The tank next to my front open is this one. Nevertheless, it does drop down a bit on the doors, so I had to use the rubber foot circles that lift tanks, between the top of the tank and the lid, so it does not block the doors. It does the job well

Currently, I have a zilla breeder with a sliding lid that holds 40 gallons. It works as a replacement, but is it as effective? The mesh of the slider lid by ZOGRA is too weak to hold up. ?

It will fit if it is 36 inches long by 18 inches wide

How long will gerbils be able to stay in here?

The weight on both ends is needed to hold this down, so I wouldn't recommend it without it. There is no problem lifting it enough for the gerbils You have to look out! They're very sneaky!

My cats like to sit on top of the turtle enclosure when they're not in the water
5/5

My cats like to sit on top of the turtle enclosure when they're not in the water. In a short period of time, the old screen broke and couldn't be repaired. It holds tight, and I am happy with it! This top easily slides Both sides of the feeder/cleaner are open for ease of use. It's best of all that it holds Two of my cats, each weighing about 10 pounds, have been up there at the same time - they have not yet had any tears or breaks! This is probably not going to happen (I hope I am not jinxing The product is just what I wanted for my Red Sliders and cats!.

The home should be free of anything harmful, including any bugs that might enter It works perfectly for the breeder I keep my hamster in, which is a 40 gallon tank
5/5

It can't be climbed out on his own, but I wanted a lid because I do have cats and I wanted to make sure they couldn't get to him, as well as anything else that could be harmful such as any bugs that come into the home. This cover is just a tiny bit too big for the 40 gallon by a few inches, but it still fits fine. I bought some screen clips to affix to it to provide a little more security, and it's If you are looking for a cover for your reptile or small pet's tank or terrarium, then this is definitely the lid for you.

This is a really good top for a 40 gallon, it fits all and looks great
5/5

She just put this tank top on her 40 gallon tank, it is a little big but I think we can live with that. It shouldn't matter that it's a little big since she has a bearded dragon. The folding of one side of this one is probably more convenient than the previous one because it will allow us to have more room. The next review will come after we have used the lid for a couple weeks. We just put the top on her tank yesterday, and now that she is in her new tank she can be left alone.

Some tanks are not compatible with this feature
3/5

My original screen on my Android phone was cracked and I had to replace it - With sliding doors and drop in screen top, this terrarium has an opening at the front. Even though it is the same brand and size in inches, it will not fit over that properly. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to replace my tank top after it was destroyed by my cat. I agree with you, but yeah. If your exo terra has front-opening glass doors, you can use these guides to install them I do not think this screen works with this.

The hood over my 53 gallon tank fits perfectly
5/5

It is perfect for reptile tanks, etc. I like the hinges because they are strong and reliable. This is a good product. The following is my recommendation.

Just what I needed, though a bit looser than I would have liked
5/5

This review describes how to care for reptiles. There's no doubt that this cover is sturdy, and it will comfortably support, for instance, the weight of a curious cat or a medium-sized dog A lizard of the correct size hanging upside-down from the ledge to demonstrate how bad he is. It is thick enough that I worry little about my animals punching or pulling holes through it with their claws, although I imagine that a mid-sized animal might be able to manage it It is possible to have a dog of medium or large size. It would be difficult for a person to break the mesh itself, but bending the frame or removing the mesh from the frame would both be doable with tools. The old breeder tank is a 40 gallon one, and I bought this to replace it. In other reviews, it is noted that it is not a tight fit, but that it is quite There are reviews with positive feedback that claim to work well with fuzzy pocket pets such as rats and hamsters. In the case of this product, I will say that you can safely keep any medium-sized object in it This product could not hold an anole or a large snake. It was not designed for zoological use I would not use it for corns or other slimy animals because of the gaps near the hinges, and I would not use it for lizards unless it was necessary. I doubt this enclosure would work for young boas, but it would easily hold a bearded dragon, uromastyx, or adult ball python (maybe it would work for boas too, but I have not worked closely with boas). It is possible, however, for a hatchling Ball Python to escape, and I would likely only use this cover for BPs that are at least 1000 grams (note some males may never attain this weight). This disclaimer is to let you know that if you are considering this product, you should consider whether a 40 gallon is really best for you and your animals. A larger enclosure is better for most of those I mentioned. Many larger BDs require larger enclosures that can hold them according to their size. Smaller BDs may thrive in a 40 gallon breeder. A 40 gallon tank will work fine for many BPs, but the size of the tank is very based on your specific.

I'm impressed with its durability
4/5

This has been my go-to app for a while There's a 1/4" overhang on one side or the other of the product, so it's slightly bigger than the intended size. There is no serious problem with this, except that crickets will always find a way to escape. It appears to be fairly durable and is currently functioning well. A few holes have been noted in the mesh, however I can only assume those happened before it arrived and have arrived as such, since the tank has only ever had this mesh on top. There are only a few holes in the product, and they do not seem to affect the product, so I'm not concerned.

Our problem has been solved! It is very important to keep our crested gecko from getting eaten by our two cats
5/5

They didn't seem to be interested in using their claws on the old screen cover when they were kittens and didn't appear to be large enough to weigh enough. Eventually they managed to rip through the screen (they liked to walk and sleep on the screens and sometimes even use their claws to get through them). We found this product to be 100% effective in solving the problem. The cage bears the weight of both cats no problem as they are both standing on top of it. The mesh screens do not have the give that the wire screens do, thus, they do not try to claw at them. For several months now the cage has been in place with no problems- we appreciate the hinged design that makes it easy to reach.
