I don't think he got 'blasted' however his enclosure is not proper for a Uro. The screens are allowing all the heat to escape and the Uro is not getting the proper heat it needs. The size looks ok based on the picture, but looks can be deceiving.
As far as covering the screen with plexi, probably best to just remove the screen entirely, as the Uro could try to climb, and injure itself, especially its toes/nails. Better safe then sorry. Plexi scratches way too easily to use as a permanent thing (especially if you want to be able to view the Uro) so unfortunately the more expensive, yet better option here is glass.
Obviously, there is some good carpentry skills on hand here, so I'm sure building something well-suited for a Uro won't be much of a challenge.
Good luck, and keep us posted on how it comes out
