"The front door"? I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

This is his current tank - its not suitable for him at all ventilation wise and you can see the condensation on the sides.

At the minute he spends a lot of time outta the tank anyway and i'm careful to leave the lid off while he's out - at least 1hr every day. The screen top isnt secure so i have to use the metal lid - especially since he's an escapologist!

The glass front doors of their vivs steam up because of the high humidity when i fill the water bowl........

Started getting my stuff together for this today - got the vents and such, just gotta wait till tomorrow to start fixing it up

Quick question, Im using heat cable underneath lino for the versatility - For the two-tier enclosure would i be best heating the entire of one tier and none of the upper tier, or should i heat half of both?
