I built a 6' long by 4' wide by 4' tall insulated plywood box closed in on all sides with small vents on each side to hold in moisture. I use a screen shelf attached to the top inside of the enclosure to hold my heat lamps and keep my sav from climbing up and burning itself. The front is a super scratch resistant plexiglass but glass also works well. If there was one thing that i could change i would have made the enclosure about 6' tall as well to allow for more dirt because these monitors love to burrow and need atleast 3 feet of dirt in my oppinion. Good luck and hope this was helpful.
