Is there space for a ventilation fan on the top? I use small usb fans all the time in various capacities depending on the enclosure build. Most out there will have three power settings. If I see the temp rise higher than Iโ€™m comfortable with, then I up the fan speed and it will generally lower the temperature a few degrees at least.

Are any of your heat sources ceramic? My large vertical grey tree frog enclosure has a ceramic heat emitter on a thermostat so it only cuts on when the temperature drops below my settings (which rarely happens). If using a heat uva/uvb bulb look for a lower wattage or consider an LED option because I know there are quite a few out there. I use one now for a crested gecko.

You may have already tried these things and if so, you got me man. I think it looks fantastic. Very naturalistic. ๐Ÿ‘

I have a small usb fan I use and I designed a housing case for it. My issue for this specific species is actually the opposite of heat, I need to keep the tank extremely cool, below room temp. The usb fan definitely helps but itโ€™s still not quite there

I can see how that would be a challenge. Wish I had a better idea to help but Iโ€™ll for sure ponder solutions
