How should I cover a screen top?

[Smynx]

By the way, do you treat the pegboard with anything or just use it as is?

[Marla]

I've seen it used as-is, but if you want to 'treat' it easily, cover it with contact paper and then poke your holes back through.

Another good idea. Thanks, Marla.

If you want to know the easiest way to do something, ask a lazy man how.

If you use a substrate like Eco-earth the humidity would be really stable. I love that stuff, and so does my plated. It's real good stuff.

I use eco-earth for my gopher. It works wonderfully as a dry substrate, too.

I've been having a hard time with the humidity too. I've been wanting to cover up the screen lid with something, but not sure what. What's the best? and would it be a fire hazord?

[JLC]

I think steelsack's picture on the first page shows an excellent way to cover the screen w/out it being a fire hazard. Just leave a gap around your lamp. You could do the same with contact paper.

Thanks, I'll ty it.

Well, I did it! I put duct tape all over the top of the lid. I left holes for the lamps and gave the substrate a good mist. Now to see if it holds!
