u shouldn't have any trouble with humidity as uros get there water from the veg/salad they eat.

Humidity will be fine in the wooden viv as long as its not overdone. The exo-terras aren't the best things in my opinion, better off with a wooden one, the exo-terras will have the same amount of ventiliation if not more.

thanks, wooden is looking like the best choice

i think wooden would be a good choice as everyone said they are better for higher temps. we keep a uro at my college in a wooden viv and have not had any problems this far. as for humidity you should be fine with that too as they dont need a great deal and what they do need the get mainly from their foods.

Yeahh go for wooden, I think they just look better in general too and plus if you have to replace anything on a wooden one its going to be one of few things - glass, runners, vents. All of which you can pick up anywhere really pretty cheaply, if you have to replace something on an exo terra then you're going to end up paying a load for something stupid like a hinge or clip or something lol
