While Glass isn't ideal, it would probably get you a better setup than what you have. Probably something in the 20-40 gallon range, and as little height as possible. You don't want something tall. You will likely get a metal screened lid for the top of it. Depending on your room temperatures, you may very well still need a CHE for ambient temperatures.

Now, with a glass viv and a screened lid (and CHE), your humidity will drop very low, very quickly. There is a thread here on the forum about setting up a glass viv. It has some good info that would be helpful for you. You'll likely end up needing to either get some plexiglass to put over your wire screen top with a hole cut out for your CHE, or even covering a piece of cardboard with foil and covering up part of your lid with that, could help keep humidity in as well.
