I switched over to closed enclosure started off with plastic tub and now a greenhouse however the cover is slightly too short and leaves a gap at the bottom . Will this be an issue as far as humidity and heat leaking. I was gonna build a small base or put the plastic tub in the greenhouse or should I just return it ?

Yes I sealed mine when I used the greenhouses that didn't go all the way to the bottom. I used duct tape but had a tarp on the bottom as the floor, so I taped the tarp to the outside of the greenhouse.

I duct taped 3 sides down , the front side I left alone because that’s how I enter via zipper , The tub is temporary. I am building a 3x3 wood base for him tomorrow with 6 inch’s walls , but what do you think so far one basting light, one ceramic heat, emitter , ReptiBark, saucer water dish , humid hide, safe plants from table tortoise , cuttle bone , 2 digital thermoster , I got a thermometer gun too, @Well @Littleredfootbigredheart @Tom @Megatron's Mom

I will post the finish product tomorrow with the finished base !! Do I need more ceramic heat emitters? Do I need to put air holes ?
