So I have an exo-terra terrarium with the light canopy addition on top, looks like this:
The screen top is divided into 4 screened sections, so the back two are completely covered by the light canopy. I've cut plexiglass squares that fit into each of these screened squares to lock in humidity. However, the heat from the light has warped the plexiglass on the back two squares so that they don't sit flatly on the screen anymore, im sure letting out humidity. I was wondering if sheet metal cut to size would work to lock in humidity. The metal would block the light, but I only use the black/purple night heat bulbs anyway. I guess my main concern is would enough heat still enter the tank to raise the ambient temp without letting the humidity out. Would the heat effectively transfer from the bulb to the metal to the inside of the tank?
I think I might try.
