I realized that although I don't have any woodworking skills whatsoever, or tools... I do have ton of aluminum foil and tape. Because my light fixtures are the clamp-on types, and the clamps are sticking straight up in the air, I moved the lights into your recommended locations and then trussed...

Okay, I just found a different pinned thread with actual pictures, and I get it now. I need to put it in the middle and not the back.

I got my UV after a recommendation from a pinned message in this forum, which is why it's a long tube along the back. I can't put it "on one side" unless you count the back side, which it is. I can move the CHE into the middle, that makes sense.

Sorry, in trying to answer all questions I forgot the most basic details! Leopard tortoise, still a baby at about 43 grams.

I cannot find any premade greenhouse covers that will fit my enclosure. Picture of the actual one I have below. It is 48"L x 24"W x 22.8"H. I have my UVB tube sitting on the metal mesh along the back, my daytime flood sitting on the right (basking) and a ceramic heat emitter sitting on the left...
