How do I convert my Zoo Med?
#1
Hey Guys, Are there any existing threads on how to convert Zoo Med terrariums for dart frogs(i.e. no see-um mesh in the vents and lid conversions)? Photos would be a big help. Thanks

The top is as easy as taking a cardboard cut template to Home Depot or Lowes and getting glass cut there for @ $10.00 and then sanding the edges to make them not sharp. I'm a big fan of not 'hard-modding' anything if I can help it. I don't want to cut and chop and glue and silicone if I don't have to.

Laying glass on top is easy and adjustable - move it this way and that way to allow some air to enter the screen that it sits on.

Thats exactly what i did. actually if you have a 10gal laying around maybe with a leak and you dont care about taking it apart, the smaller side of the tank will make for a perfect fit for the top screen.

I just lay it on top and adjust as i like.
