Enclosure question

2doxies Nov 01, 2006 12:51 AM

I have been searching for a replacement sliding screen lid for my 20 gallon tank. I can only find regular screen lids. The tank used to house my bearded dragon and now has our new corn snake. It is okay, but worn slightly from having lights on it for the beardie. Any ideas on where I can find a sliding screen?

I was looking for one also.
I ended up making a wooden top for the tank because I couldn't ever find one.

If your talking about "critter" type aquaria, most I have seen can be repaired. They use a unique metal spline. An awl can pick it out from the end. Try not to bend to much. If you use wire house screen, that metal spline may not fit, but vinyl spline can also be used. Just make sure it is nice and tight. Especially corners, and do not start the spline in the corner as it will tend to pull out.

Hope it helps.

Thank you all for responding...after searching the internet for a couple hours the other night, I needed help. I just don't want an escapee! The snake is much easier to care for than my bearded dragon...but the beardie doesn't try to get out!!
