Too much ventilation?

I got a some AMAC boxes and modified them with a 1/16th drill bit. I read that there was a such a thing as too much ventilation, and wondered if these are okay? If they aren't good, I can toss them and start over - I got extras because I was afraid the plastic would crack.

For the arboreal style box, there are approx 30 holes on two sides towards the top, and an additional 18 one one of the other sides towards the bottom.







The terrestrial style enclosure has about 20 holes on all four sides, towards the top:



Both have 5 holes in the top, one in each corner and one in the center.

Thanks for any input!

The only thing I’d be worried about is if you have to keep the humidity up in the tank. The only way to know is to try it

Depends on the species in my opinion. First one would be perfect for Caribena versicolor second would be good for GBB.

There isn't too much ventilation in the wild, shouldn't be with a container, unless you have slings and you are trying to keep the sub a bit moist generally speaking. Lvs like it a bit on the moist side as well.
