I highly recommend it. It has worked wonderfully for us so far:

I tried just having one CHE at the end with the plants and the MVB at the basking and hide end but I couldn't get the basking area hot enough it would only reach about 87 I like it to stay around 95. And at night it would get too low about 74 at the end with just the MVB so I use the MVB and CHE's during the day and just the CHE's at night.
I get my CHE's off eBay super cheap. I made the mistake of buying my first one directly from a pet store for $40.

100 wattWhat wattage are your CHE's?
Yup that's the one - but in the UK they are all sold separately at a cost of over £300!!!!Is this what you were talking about? http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-60053-Raised-Garde-Enclosure/dp/B0055FSKPW/ref=pd_sim_86_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51v4BT0P7hL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=15G2ZBV3V7W93AK6YNA2 Not too expensive!

I did the exact thing your wanting to do, with the same green house too. The humidity and temps are easy to keep up.

Great Idea, I'll have to give it high walls like he did. Thanks
would this kind of enclosure work to keep the humidity up for a Redfoot? I really like this idea. Thanks for the idea

How much is the kit with the frame? I bought just the house for 35 at homedepot...
I purchased mine off eBay for about $30 frame and greenhouse together.
