Doing it this way means it will be able to take the weight of substrate, yet leave the original enclosure undamaged.
By the way, use 6 inch steel angle brackets to fix the ply around the outside, they`re much stronger than screws, and again, so easy to fix together.

Hey, so I'm a bit confused about what you meant about the board on the bottom? I attached a pic of the enclosure. Did you mean to cut out the bottom and put an addition underneath plywood box type thing? Or to make a plywood box inside the enclosure that goes about half way up the door? I feel like the cage is larger than what he told me. I'll have to get out a measuring tape and recheck it (its taller than I expected).
He also installed a shoe rack type thing inside it, to get higher up towards the basking lights I guess (Idk if I like it, and don't think its neccessary if Im goign to install the basking lights inside the enclosure) , and theres a heat tape inside the enclosure which I'll probably remove. Or I may just sell it, it was only 120 and in good shape, they are 350 new at the animalplastics site.
