vents will be on the sides as well as the top to allow excess heat to escape. Also, plexiglass scratches super easy and will need replacement constantly due to the Uro's nails scratching it up. I would not suggest making a 6' glass door on front for 2 reasons:
a) weight
b) you are giving the Uro a large opening to run at if you startle it, and a fall from that height could be very very bad. You want to be able to ensure it wont find a place to jump from. Safety first.
