Trouble Finding A Screen Cover..

Everywhere I've looked, no one is providing screen covers that would fit my enclosure!! :{
If anyone remembers, I have a four foot by two foot terrarium but it is only one foot in height so a cover is a must to prevent escape.
If anyone knows where I can buy a 4x2 screen cover that has large enough holes for my MVB to penetrate successfully, please don't hesitate to spill the beans :}
Thank you!

You can make one pretty cheap. Hit up a hardware store. Get some pieces of wood and some 1/4 or 1/2 inch metal screen. You can get as simple or as fancy as you want, as long as the skink can't push the lid off/open.

I'd rather buy one that's already ready to rock and roll lol.
Money isn't an issue, but if I cannot find one after more searching I'll definitely visit Home Depot and purchase the 'ingredients' that you've mentioned, thank you Fatal_S !

That cover is the right size, but the screen will block out most of thhe UVB. Personally, I wouldn't care about that because BTS don't need UVB, but if you want to provide it, you could cut a hole in the middle of the screen big enough so that the bulb isn't blocked.

Yea I think she's looking to use a full spectrum bulb.

Yes I am, Larissa

Idk I just really love the idea of an MVB!
NOP, thank you so much for finding a cover for me! & I bought my enclosure already fully done but it did not come with a screen cover, unfortunately.
& Jeff, thanks for the idea! I'll definitely find a way to make a hole for my MVB to shine through!
