The 5 Best tank Screen Covers (2023 reviews)

The zilla screen cover is the best feature-rich cover on the market today. This screen sits on top of the tank instead of slides in. It is made of simple screen. It is great for any reptile set up. The 24x12 size fits a standard 20 gallon perfectly. It has about a half-inch or so of space on either side.

It is designed with lighting in mind, and the mesh stands up to the high temperatures that heat bulbs can generate. It allows for necessary air flow in terrariums. The screen cover is a bit bendy, but it still fits well on the tank.

Best With door: Zilla tank Screen Cover

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention zilla tank screen cover for regular usage. Reptiles are kept safe under the protection of tough escape-proof mesh. After purchasing another gecko who also loves to climb, this cover is amazing and helps a lot with feeding crickets. It features the added feeding convenience of a hinged access door. The mesh and the steel frame are designed to withstand the high temperatures from heat lamps. When used with the proper clips, this top works excellent and makes feeding easier.

The gate is a little flimsy and the lock is cheesy, so it doesnt have much downward pressue at the corners. The door locks and is the perfect size.

Why We Like This:

Worked great and nice entrance hole to add bugs in
