hi everyone!! to save me a few hours and looking through 145 pages on the enclosure page:0 can someone tell me ideas of how they mounted their UVB fixture with the 3d background that is included with this tank? to the top screen??? thanks in advance!!

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.

That stinks. I did that on the side of my first tank where the screen slides
