I've personally watched an adult ig rip through plastic mesh. The "reptariums" may look attractive but they do have several pitfalls especially for adult igs. Adults will easily be able to tear through the mesh, claws run the risk of being caught in the mesh, the mesh itself filters available UVB from the outside world by as much as 50%, and they will hold absolutely zero humidity or heat meaning that the atmosphere INside the reptarium will have the same relative humidity and heat as the ambient levels in the rest of the room. If you've got the physical space for a 6'x6'x3' minimum enclosure I'd suggest building one of wood and/or plexiglass yourself if at all possible. You'll be able to better control heat/humidity in an "enclosed" enclosure. Definitely a better application of time/money in my opinion.
