Ts chewing through vents....

[Teds ts and Inverts]

I’ve heard (and seen) of Ts being able to use their fangs to chew through aluminum wire vents. Does anyone know if the same is true for plastic vents? I was looking to get a 20 gallon aquarium to house my Theraphosa stirmi when she gets larger, and I wanted to drill holes into the sides, in order to add vents, improving cross-ventilation, which is ESSENTIAL for keeping this species. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Btw, these are the circular vents I was looking to use, just for reference....

Whatever they can put their fangs on they will do so. One keeper swears by mesh vents of metal, another swears by plastic. I prefer drilled holes in plastic.

Those are nice. You could run w/those. Where'd you find them?

Thanks a lot, forget about vent masters. There's another site called Midget Louvers (spelling is wrong)

I use drilled holes. I thought about trying mesh but never got around to it.

I was gonna drill holes into a sterilite container, but I thought that an aquarium would look a LOT nicer. And by using vents I figure I can get enough cross ventilation to make a pretty yet functional enclosure for my beloved T. stirmi

Sorry overlooked the aquarium part. If its not tempered glass you can drill it with a diamond glass bit. I have done a few reef tanks before. Those vents look fine,
