Tank Tops
I've got a 30 gal breeder tank with one of those annoying slide out screen lids.
Has anyone managed to convert one to have a hinged back? Or maybe built a different top all together?
Something like this would be handy

although I think 1/2 if not the whole thing being a different material to keep in the humidity would be ideal
any suggestions??

Re: Tank Tops
Lol...and here I was thinking a different kind of "tank top"...
0.1 ball python (Cleo), 0.1 surinam bcc (Carmen)
1.0 sunglow motley corn (Jenson), 1.0 albino burmese (Lourdes)
1.0 cat (Nicky), some mooses and ratters, 1.0 hubby (Rick)

YOu have one of those critter cages, I've got a few just like them but in 20long
size. Honestly what I did with them is took some ceram wrap and aluminum foil, put it over half of the screen... and bAM! more heat and humidity!

Critter cages are not fun...I hate those sliding tops too.
The regular screen lids made by ESU for your 30 breeder will work even if you have a Critter Cage 30 breeder. Just get one of those an some clips and you're good to go.

Re: Tank Tops
Transluscent "ConTac Paper" worked great for us when we were using screen lids - drop tops or sliding critter cage types - easy to apply and remove without munginess (of course all those tanks are now full of rats hehe)

Re: Tank Tops
Not only for the humidity, because I can work with that
I think I'm tired of annoying the crap out of my snake every time I go to slide it out and bang it against the table to set it somewhere or what not.
So, is there anything available online or in store that has a hinge instead?
