    Glass enclosure setup

    I was trying to find the post I saw a while back where someone suggested covering the screen top with a plexiglass panel to thank them! I wish I would've thought to take a before pic. I previously had the top partially covered with aluminum foil and painters tape (only on the outside) and it looked so bootleg! Today I finally bit the bullet and went to Home Depot to get the plexiglass. They were super helpful and put all the holes where I wanted at no charge! I wish I would've done this weeks ago, as it solved all my temperature/humidity issues already! Just thought I'd share.

    i have a UTH under the hide to the right, which stays at about 91°F. The left hide is always about 80°F and the platform above the right hide is at 93°F. Ambient air temp is at 80°F on the dot, 60% humidity.

    How much did it run you at Home Depot, if you don't mind?

    It was only like $19 for a larger sheet of plexiglass and they helped me cut it down to size and add the holes for free!

    Looks awesome! I'd suggest getting aluminium tape and covering the edges of the plexiglass on which the lamps sits or touches so it doesnt accidentally melts it (I dont think it would, but just in case).
