ya aluminum is good or you can get the black aluminum mesh its covered with this stuff that is safe for chams, forget the name of it

there are some screens that will block out more uv rays. All do to some extent, buy some are specific for blocking out the rays. Watch what you buy. Oh, and by all means, do NOT buy the fiberglass...

I bought mine at Lowes for around $6 and it isn't made to resist UV like some are which will partially block your lamp and it also has a coating on it that will help prevent your cham's feet from being hurt by the bare aluminum that can have rough/sharp edges. Like someone else already said, be sure not to get the fiberglass material as crickets can chew through it and get out.

Here's a link to what I used in case you need it: http://www.lowes.com/pd_15146-15369...al%2Baluminum&Ns=p_product_price|0&facetInfo=

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
