Is my ventilation sufficient?

In my previous post, I posted pictures for my 75 vert build. My question (if you don't kind looking), would there be enough ventilation if I put in a door without a screen in the front of the viv. The standard procedure is putting solid glass at the bottom, then a door above that, then screen above. I am wondering if having the entire top screened instead of glass would let me get by without a screen section in the front. I usually have trouble keeping humidity high in tropical vivs, so if I can avoid more screen, I would like to.

I have done all my custom enclosures with screen tops and full glass doors. I try to spray the enclosures down daily and don't have any issues with mold. I don't monitor the humidity (as I should:() but don't have issues with shedding geckos. The only enclosure I seem to have trouble with is my 40 breeder. This one has one of those sliding screen lids and there is just so much screen area that I think it dries out too fast. I think with a 75 standing on end that you would have a small enough area to not dry out but a big enough area to prevent funk.

ya you should be fine for ventilation but if you do a custom light hood for the top i would make sure it has some vents also
