I would rethink the dimensions. While 8ft is a good length, you can shorten the height to 18in. Big burms really don't need the height. You can also heat it, and keep the humidity levels more easily..

And the depth of 4 ft... I do like the idea of floor space for big burms,but 4ft deep is difficult to clean, and can be somewhat dangerous if you have to sort of "get yourself inside" to reach the back. That's assuming you can reach the back.

The dimensions I use are 8ftL x 18inH x 30inD.

My burms use every inch of space.

I heat these with 2-135 watt radiant heat panels each, and mist daily.
