Depend on how strong your lights are, but as long as they're average range and he can't come into contact with the bulb, then it should be just fine on top

I use a 10 gallon heat resistant aquarium tank cover on the top of my repti breeze to place lights on. Right on top of the reptibreeze top panel. Takes the weight off the top reptibreeze screen.

An aquarium tank cover? Like a glass or acrylic cover? UVB wont be able to penetrate that if you have your UVB light on the tank cover.

Heat resistant Terrarium cover. I wouldnt use glass or acrylic, kinda common sense. Lol.. but yea I hear you.

I use a mini double dome directly on the screen with no problem whatsoever.

If you have a young cham it might be a good idea to raise the lamp up off the screen a little. They like to climb on the top when they are small and can get burns, especially the ends of their tails.

Yea but the screen gets a little bent, sunk in.. with this heat resistant cover you can put any weight on it.

I just have my lights directly on the screen too. Not too much of an issue with the top sagging

That works too, I just prefer to use the cover.

To each his own! The plus side of using that extra cover is you don't have to worry about burns as much.
