    Will this work for a amazon tree boa?

    I will put a sheet of plexi where the screen is.

    Add a few perches at different levels, and it should work out. Run it for a while after you swap out the screen to see how it holds heat/humidity. I've got my ATB in an acrylic cage that's sort of similar looking, and it's been working out well.

    Some people use flexwatt under the tank, but that's only for heating the water contained in the substrate to raise the humidity--flexwatt won't work for a hotspot.

    Instead of doing a single piece of plexi on top, I did 2 rectangles and a square so humidity holds well and I use a lamp on a dimmer for a hotspot on the perch. I would also recommend removable perches of some kind. I use pvc mounted with closet hanger type brackets so when I need to handle I can remove the whole perch and let her come off in her own time. The majority of my bites were taken from trying to remove her from a fixed perch inside the cage. Hope this helps! You should check out amazon-alliance.com too, they are a great atb resource!

    This is a bit late but I kept my ATB in a Zoo Med naturalistic (biggest size) I only kept one small UTH for 10gs on the side where he perched and it kept the enclosure at the right heat and he never had a problem with shedding. Your enclosure looks fine but you might need to upgrade later on depending how big he/she gets. Females can get up to 9' but they're usually around 7'
