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.
1.2 Normal BPs (Sekhmet, Tefnut, Vincent*)
0.1 Coral Albino RTB (Eisheth)
1.0 RTB (Cassanova*)
0.3 Nicaraguan RTB (Type 2 Black Eye Anery w/Genetic Stripe. Eevee*, Daeva, A*)
0.1 Corn (probably corn/rat mix. Trouble)
1.0 Splendida King snake (Freebi)
1.0 Leopard Gecko (Little Dude*)
0.2 Halloween Crested Gecko: (Thing1*, Thing2*)
1.1 Columbian BCC (Oolong, Pippin. Currently fostering with a friend)
*Long-term pet sitting, not actually mine
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'
