Design and Features

• "It kept the cat from breaking through the screen and it didn’t warp or fade under the heat lamps."
• "It's the perfect size, but does not include clips."
• "It was less expensive than a glass lid and it allows excess heat out to keep them comfortable."
• "The mesh is thicker and stronger than that of the screen that came with my 40 gal set up."
• "This screen is so heavy and sturdy, I'll never have to worry about those little mice escaping!"
• "The open corners allow for the cords for my filters and heater to be neatly tucked in the corner of the tank."

Cons:

• "Would be nice to have a little door or flip up part so you didn't have to lift it completely off to give food."
• "The only downside is that I must take the heating lamp off the lid to feed my turtles, since it sort of locks itself (has a little of preasure per say)."
• "The cover fit perfectly, but arrived with a small hole on top."
• "The original cover for our 40 gallon Thrive Front Double Door Opening Terrarium had some melted areas (poor design IMO) and needed replaced."
• "The only drawback was product description says 'Screen cover includes a locking hinged feeding door for easy access' which it does not have."
• "This is just a screen on a frame and there is no hinge anywhere."
