ABSTRACT:
A vivarium is provided with simplified retention of a top cover. The vivarium has four sidewalls with an upper border frame that extends along the top of the sidewalls. A flange extends laterally from the upper border frame towards the interior, to provide a support surface for the top cover. Slide lock handles are slidably attached to the front edge of the top cover to make it easy to open the top cover, and for securing the top cover in a closed, locked position. The slide lock handles may be slid along the front edge of the top cover to engage the flange and lock the top cover in place. S-clamps are attached to the rear, right, and left edges of the top cover and to the flange extending from the upper border frame to secure the top cover to the vivarium.
