Can you remove the plastic background piece? How is it secured?

The background is made of styrofoam and is held in place by friction, it comes right out.

the background is a piece of styrofoam and it's wedged in so yes, you can remove it. I remove it every time when I clean the terrarium.

The back piece is actually Styrofoam material. It's wedged in, you can remove it by tilting the top toward the door than shimmying it out.

Yes it can be removed. It is not attached. It is just wedged in. It's made of styrophome - like a cheap cooler. We love the tank though.

It is Styrofoam, and it can be removed! It simply sets in the back of cage . It's wedged in a bit, but does come out!

The foam background is simply pressed into place, and is very easy to remove through the top once the screen is out.

The cover seems to be held on by some kind of glue. I'm sure you could remove it but it may be difficult to get back into place

On the back there should be plastic pieces that clip together. Hold each side and slide them towards each other they should come off.

You kind of have to pry it off gently. The plastic gives if you pull on it a little, so all you have to do is pull it far enough where you can pull it off.

No, I tried and there is nothing on box. If you are mechanically inclined you might be able to get it off without damage. Or you could cut off holder with metal cutter if you don't care about looks.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

Yes, it can be removed if you make a mistake. Just peel it off and start over.

There is a strong plexiglass cover which is secured with a pin. It won't be easy to break it, but possible.

There are 2 flat pieces about 2 inches long, with half round raised ends, molded into the plastic to be removed. There is a slot in the bottom of what becomes the door and in the bottom of the frame. You have 2 such pieces but only need 1. One of the pieces can be inserted through the slots making a 'latch". I don't use it because I don't want my dogs running into a latched door and tearing the screen.

The plastic wrap it is in, but it was well secured. You literally have to cut it out of the plastic.

I did not remove it. I have a glass desk so it worked fine leaving it on. If you want to stay in place you might have to remove the plastic. I was worried about the dust catching to the bottom.

It cannot be removed. It is connected to the case. It is very thin and not bulky.

Additional answer: Perhaps the plastic is just protecting it and you just need to remove the plastic.

I don't have an Ideal system, but mine has a plastic covering that shields the top of the flap - need to tak that off, first, by accessing the screws holding the frame together.

There is a smoked plastic panel, however, I believe you can remove it if needed or wanted.

Yes, there is a plastic tab at the bottom (that should have been protuding a little bit) that you have to remove.

The big plastic piece is a security sensor. I sent an email to amazon about it and they did absolutely nothing. You just have to break it off. Or that's what I did.
