Makes sense. I'm not sure how you can do it other than seal up that wood really good with epoxy like you did. I still believe you could use your RHP in it but you still have to figure out some solution since how you have it step up in the other tank is giving you problems. Is there a way you could maybe cut the top so that you could put the RHP on top of the enclosure and not in it? Just have a single metal screen so he can't hurt himself like he keeps trying to do in the other enclosure? This is just an idea and if others who have more experience with the diy stuff should definitely chime in lol. Check out all the reptile YouTube channels that diy stuff and maybe you'll get inspiration there.
