One of the reasons reptariums aren't good enclosures for igs...impossible to maintain heat & humidity, without modifying it somehow. What about maybe using a wall for the backside and enclosing the 2 sides of it with like cheapo shower enclosure panels, acrylic, plexiglass (expensive) or plywood, wall panelling panels to help keep that heat & humidity in....during spring and summer months may not even need em so make them removable ...like drill some holes to hook them to the top of reptarium. The panels hould be lightweight too...you prolly are more concerned come fall, winter.....as long as your indoor ambient temps are low 70's and basking spot/s are 85-95 I don't think you really have a prob. What are his basking spot temps? You can also go with a (strategically placed and inaccessible to ig!) ceramic heating element or radiated heat panels (expensive)gee...I dunno...Try the Caging Forum (link below)....run this past them for some more ideas....I know Reptarium sells a bunch of accessories for lighting and heating made just for them....might need to spend a bit more....but they gotta make money somehow ;-)
