Center-Hinged Screen Cover for Easy Terrarium Access
The Zilla Fresh Air Screen Cover with Center Hinge is built for reptile habitats that need frequent, convenient access. Hinged lengthwise down the center, this cover lets you open either panel independently, so you can reach into the enclosure without removing heat or light fixtures. Feeding, spot cleaning, and daily maintenance become quicker and less disruptive for both you and your reptile.
The black mesh is heat-resistant, standing up to the high temperatures produced by reptile heating bulbs. The long-lasting black steel frame holds its shape through years of daily use, making this a reliable, low-maintenance addition to any 24 x 12 inch terrarium setup.
Sold individually (quantity of 1).

Material and Design Breakdown
The black steel frame is built for long-term durability, resisting warping and deformation through repeated daily use. The black mesh is heat-resistant, making it compatible with the high temperatures produced by reptile heating bulbs and illumination lamps. The center hinge divides the cover into two independently operable panels, giving you flexible access without fully removing the lid.
