Ok, this is confusing.
You give temperatures of 100F warm side and 85F cool side, then say you don't know what the temperatures are?
Also, get rid of the ceramic heat emitter...unless your room temperature drops below 65F at night, you don't need supplementary heating in the evening. Also, heat should come from bright basking lights, to simulate the sun. A dragon won't recognize a non light emitting bulb as where he needs to go for best temperatures.
Building your own cage is cheaper in the long run and not overly difficult to do. As you mentioned you have a friend who is a carpenter, he may be willing to build the cage for you, if you don't have alot of woodworking skills. Vents can be in the back, front or sides, depending on the cage design. Vents on top tend to let more heat escape anyway, which can be a bad thing. My cages have screen doors, so venting isn't a problem. As my apartment stays a pretty constant 70-75F year around, heat loss through the screen doors is not really an issue. ----- PHLdyPayne
