Most people remove that because it is made up of styrofoam and falls apart easily enough and then the beardie might accidentally eat it.

If you really wanted the background, though, you can get an under the the counter light fixture at Walmart and some screws and bolts and hook it up through the screen.
 
I have my UVB hood/fixture zip-tied to the top of the screen underneath one of the plastic support beams.

I left in the background as my beardie doesn't bother it. However, ensure your basking spot is towards the front as it WILL melt the stryofoam background if you leave it in.

No problem! Sadly, first hand experience. See below.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
