    Question rusty screen top

    any idea on how to get rid of rust on exo terra screen top? I got a tank with spots on a screen top here and there and it would be nice clean it somehow with something that is frog safe.

    I have noticed that bleach soaks work well with taking off rust. just make sure you rinse it off well

    how exactly you are doing it? removing top and wiping it with bleach or actually putting the whole thing in the solution?
    i goggled and found this How to Remove Rust Stains from a Metal Door Screen | DoItYourself.com
    not sure if it'll work, but will try too. i like when cages are nice

    I've never seen screen top replacements for exo terra, is there such a thing available? if so - where?

    im really not sure, you may be able to call exo terra customer support and they may be able to steer you towards a retailed or even replace it out of courtesy. if the screen top is removable, most hardware stores will re screen windows so they may do your screen top
