I *don't* deal with them. I tried for a while when I first got back into keeping lizards and it was awful. So after some trial and error, I came up with a solution I like for the few remaining standard fish tanks I'm still using. I built my own solid tops for the tanks with screened areas for dome lamps (with a ridge so the lamp can't slide around), an attached slim fluorescent on the inside for ambient light, and a hinged door with screening for ventilation. I love them. If you're at all handy, I recommend trying it. If not, look for the commercial screen tops with the little hinged doors. I think you can get them in a 40 size.
