I like PVC/Wood and glass for them, make sure they are ventilated but not enough to lose all of your humidity. I prefer using RHPs to heat them you can get them in canada from Greg west or Exclusive snakes, hand spray will be enough to maintain humidity if its sealed right, otherwise a fogger/misting system will be needed.
Have you thought of using a planted vivarium?

I have mine is a regular glass front opening exoterra that I have the screen covered and live plants. I have an automatic Mister. Mostly I hand mist.
I Use bulbs but my whole snake room is heated
I tend to use glass vivs for gtps and tree boas, heated by either a ceramic heater or spot bulbs above, and sprayed with a pump hand sprayer.
Temperature wise, i give them basking areas of around 88 and lower in the cage the temps drop to mid 70s.

I custom build all my vivs.. My GTP is kept in a 3ft tall x 3ft wide 2 ft deep Oak viv. I heat with a Radiant heat panel and I mist once a week. I offer a hot spot of 95 and a cool spot of 75.
