That said my plan was to have the open side (technically top if laying correctly) an all screen door figuring that would be enough ventilation and for humidity to escape. I have read mixed ideas on what I could do. I am assuming that a huge screen door on one side of the set up should suffice.

I could give either give up on the idea or go for an all screen enclosure but I had my heart set on building a little tree and cliffs from the gran chaco region up the sides.

Thanks for any input!

I think you would be fine with the humidity but if I am not mistaken these guys need a pretty warm basking spot. How would you provide that? If you just flip the tank on end you would have a glass top and I don't know how you would heat that. You couldn't put a basking light on it. I've done what you are thinking of doing with other tanks and I usually break out the end (now the top) and put a screen on that side as well
