I simply can't help you with that screen lid. It looks cool. But you may have to keep looking for an alternative. The cages mentioned as ideas for you to consider can be rigged with UV and with a night bulb if you really wanted to. If not those exact cages, then others like them. Or you might consider creating a custom screen top that you build yourself. Some wood for frames...screen...hinges....maybe a little stain to make the wood pretty. It wouldn't be very costly at all....just take some careful thought and measuring to get it right.
Good luck.
Thanks.
My boyfriend and I are considering our options by rigging an entirely new cage for her or just making a custom lid for her ourself. We both like her tank though (and or snake seems to as well) so we are leaning towards custom screen top.

But just to make you feel stupid, if you would READ like you told me to do. My plexiglass idea was not dispelled b/c I told JLC how it would work and I quote "True enough...drilling holes would make that work." And if you think it doesn't work go tell that to some of the top breeders who do the same thing at shows,
Fair enough. I missed that part.
Feel free to feel stupid yourself for IMAGINING that I feed my baby ball python full grown rats!:rolleyes:

You're right....I totally implied I was right and others were wrong:

I never stated or even implied I was right over the UVB issue so think again!

You have not helped whatsoever with your condescending nasty attitude. Do not include yourself with the majority of other people in this thread because YOU have not been helpful!
And I didn't blow anybody off on here either....until now!
MitsuMike,
Please do not reply to me anymore in this thread, the other thread I made about garter snakes, or any thread I make in the future on this forum. I don't like your attitude and I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave me the hell alone.
Thanks!
