Exo terra terrarium lid question

[Sal]

Hello
Can the Exo Terra 18 x 24 terrariums screen lid support the weight of 2 zoo-med medium dome lights ?

This might sound like a strange question but the pet store in area can special order the terrarium for me as they only carry the 12 x 18 model and looking at screen top it looks bit weak.

I do not want the special strip light they make for it because the bulb placement is sideways not the bulb facing down into terrarium which is what I want.

Thank you

Sorry no one got to your post, Sal. So how did things work out? Did you wind up trying the dome lights? Did the screen lid support it?

Had I noticed this in a more timely fashion, I would have said that you might play it safe and use some dowels or something similar to act as support braces to rest the lights on.

it's not so much the weight you'd have to worry about by the heat put off from the domes can melt the plastic housing of the Exo-Terra...this can be alleviated by using a lamp hang (or in your case 2 lamp stands or a rig to hold both domes off one hang.)
