It's about 3 inches in size.

Dry sub, large shallow water dish, and plenty of anchor points.

Toss out the foam backdrop if it comes with one.

Replace the screen lid with an acrylic square w/vent holes, or add acrylic to the lid frame with some hot glue. If you use screen, your T might lose a leg or die.

How might it lose a leg ?

They can get caught on the screen via their tarsal claws. If the T can't get itself out, I can see a T self-amputating as they have that ability. Alternatively a weak point in their exoskeleton, and leg cracks open a bit, next thing you know your T bleeds to death or amputates. Or the T just drops from the screen, they DO fall, and splat goes your T etc.

Do the right thing, protect your T.

Putting a piece of plastic on the frame isn't rocket science, just do it and have piece of mind you did the right thing for your pet/s, and can rest easy when you are not around.
