Thanks for bringing your questions up here.

I'd like to share my view.

There are a couple of things very wrong here.

First, the basking lamp you are using is actually a general heating lamp, they emit heat.

But if you are not careful, you will very lightly to overburn your critter, esp when your lamp is placed at such close distance. Even with star torts, the amount of heat must be carefully regulated to avoid overheating, dehydration and discomfort.

Sugar gliders are creatures with night vision and we have discussed previously that their eyes are extremely sensitive to light, even the normal candescent white fluorescent, it is still consider not suitable, but can be tolerable if place at certain height.

Even you decide to put a lid over the container but lights can penetrate through the sides.

To keep them warm, you can place them at a warmer place instead, at toom temperatere. And you can provide fleece pouches for them to sleep and keep warm. They will hardly catch a cold if you do this.

The best temperature for gliders is 70-90 Fahrenheit. That means, 21-32 degrees C. Our weather at Klang Valley range between 23-32 degrees.
This indicates that current tropical climate is fine.

Personally, i will never resort to put my gliders in a small container with a lid. In fact, i'm in the process of expanding my cage, a 5 x 7 ft will be good I'm a bit worried when you said you want to put them in the container.

Do what seems best to you yeah?

I'm not sure if Pet Shack has the heating plate/pads but I've seen it at major pet stores like Pet Safari

It is used for small animals most commonly rabbits.

WRONG THREAD! 

I have been thinking of using rivets and aluminium plate to replace cable ties to fasten the wire mesh to my DIY cage.

But it's A LOT of drilling work, i think i don't have time to do all that anymore.

I will be going to search out for something called square U-Bolts or some other alternatives that will not compromise the overall appearance.

my half-done DIY cage wif pvc pipe..wire mesh.. n cable ties... but..stop working on it... bcoz i m having final exam soon..
