For a baby you can just use a regular aquarium with a good fitting screen lid.
Just cut a piece of plexi big enough to cover the lid and cut a hole in it for a light. I like using branches and plants with a dirt substrate. I used this setup when I got my first baby atb and have been using it very successfully for the past couple of years.
Humidity is easy to control with the plexi, just slide it a little to expose more or less of the screen lid.
