Ok guys, check this out....I just ran home during my lunch break and snapped a couple more pictures of the enclosure using my phone.
The tank DOES have two heat sources - an undertank heater and a heat lamp, both are on 24/7. Here is a pic of the UTH:
And here is a pic of how hot it gets under the bulb, with the crappy dial thermometer:
Ok. So. Here is what I'm thinking of, to try and make this work. Let me know if this will work or if it's feasible.
The sides of the enclosure are glass, with one spot of plastic w/ holes for ventilation. EACH piece of glass CAN BE REMOVED:
So, what I'm thinking is - Leave the big front doors glass. Remove the glass on the sides of the enclosure and replaced them with Melamine. Extend both the middle and the top shelf almost all the way across, with a small access hole for Cleo to get between the two levels. Have undertank heaters on the left side of both upper levels, small/medium water dishes on both upper levels, and the GIANT corner water dish (You know the one - the massive one) on the bottom right corner.
I attached a sketch I drew up in paint. Please, no reproduction without my expressed consent. I know, I know, you're probably thinking "Damn those pictures would look good on my fridge", but please....ask first.
The grey parts is where Melamine will go:
The red is where the shelves will go, with the break in the line being the access holes. The blue is water, and the black is under tank heaters:
Whatcha think? Will that be able to:
A) retain humidity
B) less climbing, more zoomin'
C) better temperature grades
