Okay was going to get plexi glass pre cut and holes drilled and then attach to outside of cage myself by drilling into the wood attaching plexi.
Now is there like any kind of fabric insulation or anything that I could use in place of plexi glass.
Lizzy inside but in Chicago temps get colder and now her cage is much bigger than last year i need to keep the heat in more.
I use a heater in the room when it gets like much colder than now but noticed this am her temps are a little to low even now.
She currently has two 5.0 iguana lights, a ceramic heater and day basking light but at night these are off and only the ceramic and a night light are on her.
Her cage is 5x5x3 and has been doing extremely well all summer but now to face the cold again. Last year she was in a smaller enclosure and I just used card board attached around on the outside, not the most visual or warming but it worked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lizzy and Linda.
