Constructing my first locking lid!

Ok, so I have to express my excitement! I am about to build my first locking lid. This is huge for me. I've never built anything before, so this will be quite the experience. I had just a plain screen lid with screen clamps, and obviously keeping the heat and humidity right has been a challenge. I did so much research and thought about all my options. As a female without any sort of carpentry or construction experience, I'm happy with what I've planned. It may not seem like a nice, fancy plan to most, but it's gonna fix the problems I've experienced. For one, my CCP escaped ONCE, so The top is going to be attached with hinges and have 4 hinge-type locks so there's no way she can escape. I'm also going to make holes on one side for the heat lamps. I am going to put small chicken wire in between the wood pieces im using so Sero wont be able to burn herself. There will be a ventilation area(duh), and a hole drilled on the opposite side from the heat lamps for the hose of my repti-fogger. I'll have to play with the timer on the repti-fogger so I can set it correctly and not over do it, but this way the humidity can't rise through a large screen area. It'll work wonders, I think! All of this will be a great "first test" for me, since I am slowly researching and planning to build her a custom enclosure. When I have it all set up, I'll try to post pictures. I'm hoping to have it done within the next week. I hope I explained it enough for a GENERAL idea of what I'm doing. Forgive me for being inexperienced in the building area. Any input or questions are welcome. I'm excited
