ack.. plexiglass partial on top.. humidity issue?

I didn't realize when buying this online that it was plexiglass and definitely didn't know it had partial plexi on top. I've been reading up the last 2 hours or so and am worried that I have yet another tank I can't use. My 50 gallon glass I can't find a sliding screen replacement so its useless.. my husband is not savvy to make one.

Here is a picture of the tank.. I'm hoping someone can tell me if it will possibly be ok and not hold in too much humidity if I maybe hang the heat and uvb instead of setting on top with mesh. Maybe I don't need to put a screen over the holes since it's 24 in. tall and I can make his climbing not so high? My 11 year old is all sad.. again.. with another possibly failed tank. He wanted to go buy stuff for it tonight and refinish the stand we got for it.

It's 100 gallon and has two bigger holes on top, two smaller ones in the back and then two little circle holes.

That is an awesome tank. It would make an awesome fish tank, but could be a good dragon tank too.

I imagine humidity would be ok as long as the opening are screened and not obstructed. I have a wood enclosure with just vents on the side and have no problems. I have back up plan to install small vent fans if it ever is.

You'll want to get your dragon close enough to the light, and that's probably close enough to hop out the hole. I would screen them. Can you hang the UVB light inside with some wire or something?

Two comments: I would worry about the heat lamp deforming or melting the acrylic. Some acrylic scratches easily, the dragon may scuff of the walls with it's claws.
