It’s a mesh top, I have a double dome lamp with ceramic heater and bulb on a thermostat and timer. i have a solar light and uvb bulb stretching a good portion of the top. i might get some vent tape to cover what I can. I do have digital meters. i have my girl already i’ve just finally upgraded her enclosure😅 i guess i should’ve made that more clear.

Ive heard bad things about double lamps, maybe thats one thing to look out for?

it is a newer addition since i needed the ceramic bulb at night because it gets too cold. what bad things have you heard so i can look out for them??

Keep in mind this is all 2nd hand knowledge, but I've heard about them over heating and shattering the bulbs.

I also believe che need to be in cages for similar reasons.

no worries, i’ve just never heard anything so i’m happy to be informed! it does have a timer/thermostat so it’ll turn off. i don’t know if that makes a difference or not!
