This is an idea worth trying. Another idea, if you don't mind cutting a hole, would be to cut a square in the bottom of the enclosure, say 10"x10", then get a slightly larger piece of plexiglass cut, say 11"x11" or 12"x12", and glue (or countersink and screw) it down over the top of the hole, inside the enclosure. Then, you can attach a heat mat to the bottom of the plexi like you would in a tub or plexi enclosure. The floor will be higher in the spot where the plexi is, but it won't be much, and after you add the substrate, it won't really matter.
