that stuff will work but all of that isnt really necessary. glass can be good for looks if thats what you want but you will have a problems with humidy with the screen lids. not huge problem but may need misting or shed box when she/he is in shed or seal off a portion of the lid with foam or wrap. use UTH sense they will benefit more from belly heat. you dont need a heat lamp for balls inless it gets cold and you need supplement heat in which case if your tank is about 12" in hight 50 watt is good. IMO if you dont care about cosmetics all you need is a sterilite container suitable for the balls size, 2 hides, undertank heater with thermostat, water bowl and whatever non toxic substrate you like and feeding tongs. if you want a nice cage cause your going to have a few animals a better cage would be more on the lines of an Animal Plastics cage like the T1. hope that helps
