Perfect, I was nervous. And yes it is an Exo-terra, my father and I are going to go to the hardware store again sometime this week to pick up some plexiglass after it was suggested to me in another thread. I had a towel on it but that's a fire hazard with the CHE so I was like "okay plexiglass it is" lol. But I'm so glad that I found a solution to this darn ambient/cool side temp problem. Just brings me closer to gettin' my baby home :3.
Thanks so much for the responses!
