Customers find the terrarium cover to be a quality product that fits well, with one mentioning it works over a 12×36 Exo Terra terrarium. The screen is sturdy, with one customer noting it’s secure enough to mount a UVB tube inside, and another confirming it withstands a 150w heat lamp. The cover effectively keeps cats out and turtles in, and customers consider it good value for money. While some customers find the size perfect, others say it’s too large. Several customers report issues with bent screens upon arrival.

Fits Exactly and Works Great!
This screen is great for my tank! It fits perfectly with no holes or gaps where anything could slip through. I tested it with some mice in the tank, and they didnât escape. Overall, itâs a perfect fit and very secure.

Excellent tank topper!
This is the only 5-star review I’ve ever written for something I unfortunately wasn’t able to keep and had to return. I had to buy a new tank for my turtle when his old one sprung a leak and my attempts to reseal it weren’t successful. I had to go to a different-shaped tank and wound up with a 36×18. Since it was shorter than our previous one, I was afraid our cat just might be brave (or stupid) enough to try to jump in the tank, so I wanted a cover to keep him from falling in should he try.This cover is just fantastic!! It’s super sturdy, sturdy enough I’m sure if our cat landed on it, he wouldn’t fall in. It is extremely well made with a perfect size mesh pattern, not too large to allow in little flying insects and not too small to allow in light, heat and UVA/UVB light from his lamps. And it looks great to boot and fits securely on the tank.The reason I can’t keep it is because I have light fixtures that attach to the tank sides in such a way that don’t allow for a tank cover. After ordering this, I thought I’d be able to find new light fixtures that would allow me to use the cover, but I couldn’t find anything that would work with my setup (and that didn’t say they catch fire). So the only solution was to keep the lights, ditch the cover and move the tank far enough away from where the cat could reach.I so wish I could have kept this cover, but if, unlike mine, it will work for your setup, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Perfect fit
Perfect fit for my 29 gal tank.

Almost
Good product, well assembled, sturdy. The ends are split open about 1/4 of an inch reasonable for the design. I am taken back as to washing the coating off and seeing rusty drips on the paper towel. That comes from the metal crimped for the cover edges. Just not coated in the inside. So take when cleaning. I would buy again.

Just fits my tank a treat. The holes in the netting on top are just the right size. I don’t need them any bigger has any bigger my mice would escape. I have dwarf mice the smallest in the world. you can not hold them has they are to quick to catch and they are tiny. they are cute to watch when out and about in their tank. The top is quite strong to let the air in and you can buy clamps to fit it if you need it to fit tighter on your tank. I have not got them has my mice could not move it and I have not got children to take it off. you can get different sizes too.

I upgraded my snake from a 20g to a 35g and couldn’t find the proper screen cover in store… that is to say, I wasn’t about to spend ridiculous amounts of money on one.I was a bit worried, as I had ordered a cover in this size from the local pet store, and they gave me the wrong size (despite telling them the measurements), so this was a bit of a guess. But it fits perfectly! And it isn’t just that that made my service so wonderful… in my package, I received a hand-written card. Yes, a HAND-WRITTEN, WITH BLUE INK, SOMEONE-SAT-DOWN-AND-WROTE-THIS thank you card! That doesn’t seem too exciting, until you realize that nobody does that anymore. It was a wonderful surprise, and I’d buy it again if I had the chance.The only thing I will say is… if you use the clips like you would on any other cover (the weird shaped, pull into place ones), you won’t be able to on this… unless you set them up like I did. You’ll need the lock clips. The only lip is on the ends, not on the sides as well. I just bent my clips so I could use them until I got the right ones.Aside from that, I was completely satisfied with this product. And I’m sure my snake is too, lol.

Fits my 75 gallon, but not tight. Locking clips make it fit perfect, so if its for a snake terrarium, get the locking clips!

El producto es tal como se describe en la publicación, ofrece un buen ajuste para una pecera de las medidas descritas y permite una excelente ventilación. Sugiero comprar los clips que lo fijan a la pecera para evitar que su reptil levante la tapa y se escape.
