I have done a lot research but still have a few questions. I am sure someone here can help me. I am getting my son 2 leopard gecko this next Tuesday. I have I think everything for the tank and it is ready just waiting on the lighting and UTH should be here tomorrow. Well after I had order them something came to mind that hadnt before. We have 2 indoor cats. One of the cats is fat and he is rather heavy. I plan too figure out something too put on the top of the tank to cover the screen top but still let air in and out. But not let the cats feet through to the screen. We are thinking of buying replacment grill plates (BBQ) and cut them to size if needed. Any other suggestions? But my main concern now is will the cats scare or stress the lizard by looking at them through the tank glass? I planned to have them sitting on a cedar chest that is only about 2 1/2 feet off the ground in the living room and the cats will be able to get up beside the tank. Another option is to put the tank in my sons room and hopefully we can keep the door closed and the cats outside the room. But we really have nothing to sit the tank on in his room. Besides his chest of drawer which is large enough but would put the tank too high for my son to feed the geckos and do the daily care without standing on a step ladder everytime. Please give me any suggestion or advice on the matter. Thanks Carlene
