[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 130575, member: 26980"] That depends on the screen. Terra Blue professional enclosures and Zoo med ones use screen that is fully bonded and of a heavy enough grade to contain snakes and lizards as well as centipedes. ExoTerra also uses a fully bonded screen. It should be something purpose built for animals not from screen from the hardware store. For example, Jamie's enclosures use screen vents on the sling enclosures. The advantages of screens are that you can fill the water dish without opening the cage and you can use pieces of plastic sheet to perfectly regulate how much air circulates. With the entire top of an enclosure ventilated with a screen, stagnant air isn't a problem. Some of the older unbonded ones did cause problems. The other issue is why are your ground dwelling Ts being driven up the wall in the first place? Being to cold, wrong substrate, troublesome uneaten feeders, mites, and vibration from a source under the cage such as loud music being played by those in the floor under your condo can all literally drive a spider up the wall. Those issues need to be addressed. If they are, the tarantula won't misbehave and hang upside down in the first place. [/QUOTE]
