Yep, that's a perfect solution. It would help with keeping humidity in the kritter keeper too as they tend to dry out quickly. Since your animals are such a problem I would go with an Exo Terra enclosure because the heavy glass will be harder to knock over than a lightweight acrylic enclosure. You may have to cover half of the screen(or more) on the Exo terra with a towel or tinfoil once you upgrade the little guy to it because those Exo Terras have great ventilation and also don't hold humidity too well. Keep an eye on your food dish to decide whether you need more or less humidity. Moldy food means too much humidity, which is solved by opening more ventilation, and dried out food means not enough humidity, which is solved by reducing ventilation(but don't cover all of it!) and/or misting more frequently. Food should be good in there for 2 nights.

Thanks ^.=.^ I really like the design of the exotic terra, I was planning to get one of that brand

For my birthday, my parents said that they would pay for $50 of my gecko! Which means I could end up getting a higher end one by supplementing with my money ^.=.^ I'm so exited! Just a bummer that repticon is a little over a month away.
