without tring to find my tape measure....
87cm...is about 3 ft
it looks almost square....

by making a shelf....2 tree stumps half the height of your habitat
at either end at the back of a habitat....& a secure branch on top of both
this will help with length for a while...also enabling them to climb...& get the U.V..& heat needed....* inches sound right!....
& its not electricity that you should be worried about ...it them getting M.B.D...from not enough U.V
the U.V.B & heat lamps should be place at the hot end...about 6 '' apart
it will also enable you to get better variance in temps
you are aiming for...
38-40* at head height....& 23* at the cool end,on the floor, during the day...not under 20* at night
the wood in the habitat will help keep heat at night
the vents...not the small round kitchen cupboard ones!...the rectangular..10cm long
should be low at the hot end...high at the cool end

a 60w spot from your local hardware store(not flood) will do...about $3

what substrate will you be using?

dont forget...to run the lamps on a timer...6am-on.....8pm off
