Hey guys!
I have a 12x12x18 Exo Terra sitting around that I'm going to be using for my quickly growing P. rufilata. I've already decided to ditch the stock lid that comes with in favor of a DIY top, but can't decide what the best route to go from there is. I have two options that I've narrowed it down to though - full glass top, or mostly glass with a screen vent. With both options, I'd have a sealed top so the only access will be from the front.
Stuff I'm thinking about:
* Ambient humidity of the room stays around 45-50%
* Exo Terras come with a decent amount of ventilation on their fronts (but I've never used them so I'm not sure as to exactly how much)
* If I go full glass, will I have to worry about not enough ventilation and the related issues that causes?
* If I go partial glass/partial screen, how much screen should I have?
Here's a picture I found of what I mean when I say partial glass/partial screen (not mine):
Thanks for your advice in advance!
