More Cross Ventilation?

Just got a set of A. Purpurea and P. Pulcher slings, each just over an inch in size, and they came with these neat little terrariums. My instinct is to add more cross ventilation at the substrates level. Yay or nay?

Add more, and for Avic only leave 1/4" of sub. Pulcher drop sub by 50%

I am a big fan of ventilation holes at substrate level.

Edit: I see you have some. Well done! (But a few more wouldn't hurt.)

For an Avic I put more holes- about 2x you have there.
Gotcha; I'll leave em for today just because they've already had to travel and get transferred from container to container. Should be able to get those done tomorrow though.

Appreciate the help!!

I do the same, I prefer this over cross ventilation, it seems more natural with the way it works.

Holes at the bottom, holes at the top have never failed me.

Well I doubled the number of vents and added little bottle cap water dishes, but now I've got a thin layer of white fluff (mold? Mycelium?) surrounding said dish.

I'm assuming this means I need more ventilation?

No way for us to tell without a photo
