This lid was designed to fit Exo Terra 18x18 PRO Series vivarium (18x18 is the "base - i.e. length x width). They have ports for Misting holes in the front, comes with 3 plugs for customization. 3D printed lids with build-in vents. The model pictured is our current model. 

**Glass is not included** The glass can be purchased at a local hardware store. Links below to what you'll need.

Glass size 12"x16":

Designed specifically for dart frog keepers and high-humidity tropical vivariums, FrogDaddy’s custom 3D printed lid systems allow you to convert standard screen-top enclosures into efficient glass-top rainforest environments. These conversion lids dramatically improve humidity retention while still maintaining adjustable airflow, creating a far more stable ecosystem for tropical plants, mosses, microfauna, and amphibians.
Traditional screen tops continuously vent humidity, causing vivariums to dry out rapidly and forcing misting systems to work overtime. By replacing large sections of exposed screen with glass, these lids help maintain the saturated microclimates that dart frogs, tropical mosses, liverworts, orchids, begonias, gesneriads, and epiphytic plants naturally thrive in. Higher and more stable humidity levels also encourage significantly improved moss establishment and long-term growth across backgrounds, hardscape, and substrate surfaces.
Each lid system is engineered around practical vivarium functionality, featuring integrated misting ports, removable vent sections, and compatibility with common misting systems and airflow accessories. The result is a cleaner, more professional enclosure setup that reduces evaporation while still allowing controlled gas exchange and ventilation. 
These lids are especially beneficial for dart frog and other high humidity species. 
The increased humidity stability helps:
  • Improve moss attachment and spreading
  • Reduce drying between mist cycles
  • Stabilize tropical plant growth
  • Increase overall enclosure efficiency
  • Lower water consumption from misting systems
  • Reduce stress on humidity-sensitive species
Unlike improvised DIY glass covers, FrogDaddy lid systems are purpose-built for vivarium use and designed to integrate seamlessly with modern bioactive setups. Integrated venting allows airflow customization while preserving the elevated humidity levels required for successful tropical ecosystem development. Similar replacement systems in the hobby commonly incorporate misting ports, fan compatibility, and adjustable ventilation specifically to optimize humid vivarium environments. 
Manufactured using durable 3D printed components, these lids are lightweight, modular, and continually refined as designs evolve. The systems are compatible with select Exo Terra, Zoo Med, Thrive, and related enclosure formats depending on the model selected.
