Be careful with the zilla terrariums with the sliding tops if you have cats, the screens are not the strongest...

We do have cats but my kids room is off limits but I will keep an eye on it. I have a zoo med dimmable lighting fixture on top. Is it ok to have it sitting right on the cage? My bulb won't be here until tomorrow so I haven't had a chance to check it for temps yet but I will play with it.
thanks

I never had an issue with light on top of it, just try to make sure the bulb doesn't directly touch the screen (or the plastic on the sides, it's pretty hard to open them with the lid is melted to the siding)
