Zilla Screen Cover Hinged Door

Feed and check on your pet through the door, and leave the rest of the top in place. The Zilla Fresh Air Screen Cover with Hinged Door combines the airflow of a full screen top with a hinged access door that opens for quick feeding and closes with a simple lock. Tough black wire mesh stands up to claws and the heat from basking bulbs, and a black steel frame keeps its shape through years of daily use. Choose 20 x 10 inches for a standard 10-gallon tank, or 30 x 12 inches for 20-long, 29, and 37-gallon tanks.

Why Keepers Like the Hinged Door

• Quick access at feeding time. Open the door, drop in food, and latch it again without lifting the whole cover or moving your lamps.
• Simple lock. The door closes with a built-in lock when you are done.
• Fresh air circulation. Open mesh keeps the habitat ventilated, which Zilla calls necessary for a healthy enclosure.
• Escape resistant and heat tolerant. Strong black wire mesh resists claws and withstands high temperatures and corrosion from heating devices and bulbs.
• Built to last. A durable black steel frame stays intact for years.

Choose Your Size

Sizing tip: tank brands vary slightly, so measure the outside of your tank's top frame and compare it to the actual dimensions above before you buy.

Setup Tips

• Set the cover on top of the tank and secure it with screen clips, especially for strong or climbing animals.
• Place lamps and domes away from the door so you can open it without moving them.
• 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.
