Ventilation, Heat and humidity

Hello again. Well after all that discussion over peltier coolers and my Mom decides that she is going to let me keep the frogs downstairs hehe. I have a few more questions. I have a 10 gallon upstairs setup that I may still play around with a peltier cooler on but for now it is just there to keep some moss I collected from around my area alive (it looks very nice I hope it lives). I covered the whole top with that plastic wrap stuff to keep humidity in but it has gotten to 108+ degrees inside there. With a glass top will it get as hot? Are darts real good at escaping, because I know I never thought my Fire Bellied toads could push a screen lid up! Basicly I'm asking how secure does the lid have to be, does it just have to set on top or does it have to push down real tight. Im planning on using a 46 Gallon bow front tank and the pet store had a glass lid that came with it that looked very nice. I have no clue if I could find a place to cut glass to fit that kind of tank. What kind of Ventilation do darts need? I've read some sites that say that they dont need much at all, if any other then just opening the tank for daily feeding and maintainence(SP). I'll probably need ventilation in the summer because it can get a bit warm in my house but for now I dont have to worry about that, compared to my second floor down here is a freezer! Sorry about the long post, I would rather post one message with a lot of questions then 10 posts with a lot of short questions. :D
