I wish you all the luck. The acrylic top idea will work nicely. You can drill some 1/4" holes, like a cluster on one end of the lid and one on the other. Leave the middle solid. Just a suggestion when your room humidity is less than 60%.



I used hook & loop fasteners (e.g. Velcro) to secure the lid. Ultimately you want a more secure cage. I guess we are not supposed to name suppliers, but I also think we can if using examples. www.herpcages.com makes nice small cages that are easy to heat. The 20x20x20 will house your boa for awhile.



Remember that the easiest to heat cages and best for humidity do not have alot of air volume. Instead, there is alot of mass in the cage to hold heat and humidity. Branches, tight hides, water bowl with lots of surface area, etc.
