Not to mention the whole enclosure will be substantially larger for the floor space.

Hrm... just visualize a stacked set of vivariums (the ones with sliding glass doors), but with the bottom an aquarium, the middle a normal vivarium, and the top without a bottom, just climbing area

Right I get that, I guess the "stacked vivariums" if you built a tall enclosure with a 6x3 footprint would the entire bottom need to be water? With something that size the weight and filtration would get difficult. Any of the acrylics or poly will get scratched and fast, so that leaves you looking for glass...Say you built a 6x4 foot print and put in a pond liner for one side you would be able to see from the top down. I don't really see another way around it...
