Time to move Ozzy to a bigger tank.
We are thinking of a 65 gal (48 x 18 x 17) slider cage ( acrylic granite walls with slider front ) with a hinged screen top with a zoo med slider hood.
I am fairly certain of the cage choice but confused about the hood. Does it usually cover the entire top. The the website says it fits 12" depth/width tanks and ours would be an 18". Not sure if it would even function.
Also, I was hoping to feed crickets through the screened hinged top. Also, I am hoping to use the screen top to regulate air flow a bit. Not sure I want it covered from all the way from side to side. Could I use a 36" hood with a 48" tank? Or is the slider hood meant to cover the whole top and replace the screened top?
Sorry for all the questions... Just confused.

Screen (no pic with hinge - sorry) - the screen would cover entire top. Light hood - hopefully not.
