tempoary

right now i am getting ready for a garage sale tomorrow and i found two human heat pads that are pretty big i was going to sell my fish and put rocky in thier 39 gal tomorrow but i dont have enough eco earth to cover the whole thing and i dont have a screen top, i can improvise with newspaper for subsrate but what could i use for a top !?! or should i just wait until i can get to the pet store ?

i'd wait because you know what good escape artists these bps can be. i wouldn't want use anything rigged for the lid and risk him getting out. improvising with newspaper or paper towels is fine. maybe someone else will have a good idea for the top...

yeah, i think ill just wait a couple days so everything is just right for him, thanks anyways though !

Good idea Brandon. You can definitely substitute paper towels or newspaper for the substrate tho.

umm...i would suggest some chicken wire some how strapped down onto the cage...how? i dunno...i'll let your imagination figure something out. Most pet stores usually sell wire mesh cage tops.

its alright problem is solved....i decided to keep everything the way it is until i bring the baby home
thanks though !
