Zilla Screen Cover Hinged

A secure, breathable top you can open without moving your lamps. The Zilla Fresh Air Screen Cover with Center Hinge has a hinge running down its length, so you can open the top for feeding, cleaning, and spot checks without removing any heating or lighting fixtures. Tough black wire mesh keeps air moving while standing up to claws and the heat from basking bulbs, and a black steel frame holds its shape through years of daily use. This 20 x 10 inch size fits a standard 10-gallon tank.

Why Keepers Like the Center Hinge

• Open it without unplugging. The lengthwise hinge gives you regular access while your lamps and heaters stay put.
• Fresh air circulation. Open mesh keeps the habitat ventilated, which Zilla calls necessary for a healthy enclosure.
• Escape resistant. Strong black wire mesh helps prevent escapes and resists damage from claws.
• Heat tolerant. The mesh and frame are built to withstand high temperatures and corrosion from heating devices and bulbs.
• Built to last. A durable black steel frame stays intact for years.

Setup Tips

• Measure the outside of your tank's top frame before you buy to confirm a 20 x 10 inch fit.
• Set the cover on top of the tank and secure it with screen clips, especially for strong or climbing animals.
• Screen mesh filters out part of the UVB from overhead lamps, so set your UVB bulb at the distance its maker recommends for use over a screen.

Complete the Habitat

• ZooMed Aquatic Turtle UVB & Heat Lighting Kit for heat and UVB above the screen
• Exo Terra Light Bracket Lamp Holder to hang a dome over the cover instead of resting it on the mesh
• Exo Terra Analog Thermometer to keep an eye on warm and cool zones
• Fluker's Screen Cover in 24 x 12, 30 x 12, and 36 x 18 inch sizes for larger tanks

FAQ

What size tank does this fit?
It is made for a 20 x 10 inch top, the footprint of a standard 10-gallon tank. Its actual outside dimensions are 20.5 x 10.5 inches.

Can I set a heat lamp on it?
Yes. Zilla builds the mesh and frame to withstand the high temperatures of heat bulbs. Always keep the fixture stable so it cannot tip.

Are clips included?
No. Zilla recommends pairing the cover with screen clips for added security.

Will the screen block my UVB light?
Screens filter out some UVB and finer mesh blocks more, so position your UVB bulb following its maker's distance guide.
