Just remember to leave "small strips" of screen uncovered on either end. I'm eventually going for a T3 or (most likely) a T8. I like their ventilation strips in the back of them. My tank works great, for now. Just ask my snake!

Oh, 1 more thing...plexiglass has a tendency to warp a lil bit around heat lamps. I put a layer of HVAC tape on one side of the plexiglass (tape side UP), for a bit of heat shielding and privacy from above for the snake. I posted some pics of mine awhile ago...where the heck did they get off too....?
