Hello,
It's always best to try and keep the lighting and heating elements out of the enclosure when possible. Its better this way to help prevent any accidental contact that could result in injury. (They could knock the items loose causing a fire, etc.)
You will need to upgrade the size of the wire. You can also just upgrade the wire where you will be placing the lighting elements. The heat will penetrate the smaller openings, but the light needs as little between them and the herp as possible. Unless I am mistaken, chicken wire has opening of about 3/4". That would be excellent!
