Habitat - Indoor :: Bow Front Screen Top?

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

I'm upgrading my turtle from his Rubbermaid home to a 46 gal bow front tonight, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with making a screen top for these. I have a few ideas I've been tossing around, just wondering if anyone had any input. Thanks,

Matthew

You may be able to order one... I know they make plexi and glass tops, so hopefully a company sells the screen tops as well.

I have a 46 bow front. I made an Above Tank Basking Platform for it. It doesn't have a screen but could probably be modified for it. The sides and back were made using solid wood. Perhaps you could wood to make a frame and attach the screen to that. For the front I used 1/8th inch Plexi to conform to the bow, I really wouldn't know how to screen that, but the plexi should work.

Below is a picture of my basking platform. Hope it helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
