rusted screen tops for exo terras

A rookie mistake....sometimes I don't open the "Front doors" to my exo terra's, and instead go from above.......misting through the screen tops...

They've since begun to rust, I see it bleed onto the saran wrap there...

Is this fatal for the frogs/reptiles?

I don't believe they sell replacement screens, and being a handyman-not....I might have someone that can help me replace them........so my question is w/ which material:

1]]]Stainless steel mesh?

2]]]Galvanized metal mesh?(safe for them?)

3]]]Some kind of plastic mesh(heat resistant to the lights)


Also, is this something that I have to be concerned w/ for my 20L and 10gallon w/ screen tops? Do all of these rust eventually? I even wonder if I were to JUST do the door method w/ the exo terra's.....if...in all eventuality, would it rust as well....

Thank you for your time.....
