Not the right choice for species that need a closed, high-humidity enclosure to hold moisture — the open mesh sheds humidity quickly, so misting has to be more frequent than in a glass terrarium, and heat output has to be higher to compensate for the airflow across the whole side wall, not just a heat lamp above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny heat lamp, ceramic heat emitter or UVB lamp used with this enclosure should be mounted at the minimum safe distance stated on that product's own page, and always used with an appropriate thermostat.

You will need a heat source, a UVB lamp and a thermostat to keep any reptile or amphibian safely — see \"Goes well with\" above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a UVB lamp work properly through the mesh?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but expect reduced output compared with an open top. Check the mesh-adjusted distance and UV Index figures on your specific lamp's own product page rather than assuming full-strength output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the open mesh make the enclosure harder to heat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can. Because air moves freely through all four sides, ambient temperature is harder to hold than in a glass terrarium, so heat sources generally need to run at a higher wattage for the same result, and humidity needs more frequent misting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the Small X-Tall?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame 90 cm height, but this Medium X-Tall has a 60 × 45 cm base against the Small X-Tall's 45 × 45 cm base — more floor area for an animal to move between basking and cool zones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ExoTerra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774120841507,"sku":"EGT152","price":376.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/EGT152.jpg?v=1772077137","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/exo-terra-screen-terrarium-medium-tall-60-x-45-x-90cm","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
