Mesh screen or glass terrarium for whites

[zoiiy]

I still do prefer glass but I don't like glass shards on my frogs! Luckily it didn't seem to affect anyone, they were all sleeping like pigs when I found them. I suppose I can put them on the floor but then the viewing won't be as good. The entire table toppled with the terrarium so no point strapping it down?
How light is a screen one? May be a bit easier to topple if it's lighter than glass?? Also how messy will mesh be from
bedding being tossed out? Oh I don't have humidity issues. It's always about 80-90% ambient humidity anyway so I never need to do anything to keep it up.

I don't think the bedding will fit through the mesh easily. And it might really be easier to topple.

Edit: Also too bad that happened, I know it must be scary picking glass off your frogs!

In the end I got back the same terrarium. Thanks guys!

I am a little late on this discussion I know. Just thought I would add I have 2 large potted plants in with my 7 Whites. They are heavy (really the aquarium itself is too big for me to even move). But I thought that might help with weighting your tank. I just remove the entire pot when I clean and replace the shallow dirt layer on the bottom of the tank. I spray them down and the background a few times a week, and the frogs love the plants of course. The plants are a birds nest fern and big bromeliad. Got them both at Lowes and rinsed them well, changed the dirt and waited a month before putting them in the tank.

I would love to post a picture but for some reason I get the message "not a valid image file." Gotta figure that out.

i would be concerned the cat/cats would slice thru the mesh with their claws.

What you need is a different table, something that will hold the weight of an Exo-Terra. You also need to cat proof your frog area. Cat could get up on top of the screen lid and possibly rip that out or stove it in. Not a good scenario either way.
