UPDATE.......
So I got the 1” foam insulation board put up around the tank and it seems to be insulating the enclosure pretty dam good. I covered it all with some 3” wide gorilla tape to make it appealing to the eyes, Also got my ultratherm uth heater dialed in and got it maintaing a 92-93 surface temp for the hot side. Got wooden block to keep the enclosure off the ground. I’m running about 75-76 degrees on the ambient temp so I’ll be picking up a heat lamp enclosure and a 100w infrared bulb to dial the ambient temps to 80 degrees or so. I am waiting on my medium size hides to come in from reptile basics and some fake plants I ordered. Im going to be making a hinged door for the top with acrylic and I’ll be cutting out a hole for the heat lamp and putting in wire mesh so it all fits together ever so nicely... just wanted to throw an update out for anyone who has been following this. Thanks everyone for ur advice and if u have any suggestions just lemme know.
