    Screen top
    Yesterday I was Googling and clicking around, and I found a site that had a picture of a screen top that had been modified to hold in heat better. The guy had put tin foil over most of the screen, then covered it with black tape, I think. I can't seem to find it again today, and I've been all through my internet history.
    Does anyone know the site I'm talking about?

    Nope but I know I used to have awesome results using clear "ConTac" paper to cover the outside of the screen. Then I left 3 of the corsers snipped open, it upped humidity and stabilized temps quite nicely and I was able to get a sizeable roll of the stuff at a nearby drug store for a little over a dollar.

    Oh hey, that's an excellent idea, and sounds much easier to do. I'll pick some up today. Thanks!

    We use custom cut plexiglass because it's more permanent and it looks nicer:

    Have a look at the link in my sig for th
    e Glass Viv Guide that my fiance Rick wrote that describes how we have our girl's glass cages set up.

    I went ahead and picked up some of the ConTac paper today, since I was at the Hobby Lobby anyway. I just need a temporary solution until I can move Trey to a plastic tub.
