Keep the kid in it!

To be honest that is a huge and unwieldy cage to clean for a larger reptile. I would suggest keeping a colony of anoles or green tree frogs in it all naturally planted with waterfalls and stuff. That would be a really cool set up especially if you set it up the way they set up dart frogs you'd never really have to clean it, and i understand that an aquarium with one or two anoles can be boring, an aquarium with 15 of them in it would be awesome.
