This means that where the wires cross over they are attached by a bonding agent that makes the screen one piece. Since the bonding agent fully covers where they cross over, there's physically no place for claws to hang up.This means that claws etc can't get caught. Use a magnifying glass to be sure. Yes, unbonded screens can catch claws. That's why you don't want to make your own screen lid with screen from the hardware store.The Terra Blue cages are safe for anything with claws. This known problem has been solved by many of the larger manufacturers for many years. I've used several with my tarantulas and have never once had an issue. This includes both arboreal and terrestrial species.</blockquote>
