Makes sense.It's certainly drilled into everyone nowadays to replace mesh screens with acrylic modified with drilled vent holes. Entrapment is given as 1 reason. The other reason I hear a lot, is that T's can chew through the mesh and escape.However, when I watch videos by YouTubers who have kept T's for years, they often have a couple of Exoterra enclosures that still have the mesh top. And I've always wondered why they haven't switched to acyrlic. Your post does shed light on that for me, so cheers!</blockquote>
