cardboard?

I currently have a young boa in a 40g glass breeder and I use incandescent lights and a uth for heat. I acquired it this summer, and I live in Texas, so maintaining temperatures haven't really been a problem. However, we're now into fall and temps are starting to lower... I'm aware that the glass causes the enclosure to lose a lot of heat, but would attaching card board to the outsides work as a temporary fix? It's okay if it's not exactly the most aesthically pleasing solution, but that's perfectly okay with me. I just need something to work until I get a better, more insulated enclosure.
Thanks in advance for any input.

covering part of the lid of your cage with a piece of plexiglass will also hold the heat in.
