One inch C. Versicolor sling new enclosure help

[mellow]

My c versicolor sling just molted a few days ago and is now one inch and I will be rehousing it tomorrow, I would like to use the 3 x 3 x 6 amac box and skip using the 2 x 2 x 5 round enclosure with the white lid but I'm not sure if the amac box is too big for it or not, what enclosure should I use?

i think it should be fine to go to the larger one

Ok I am going to use the amac box, how should I make the holes? What do you think will work and look the best? Red yellow green or blue?

I will drill the holes on opposite sides and on the top of the enclosure.

Cool! But is a 3rd side with holes really necessary? Or will it really make a difference?

Alright I already drilled the holes in the top and two sides, is it important to drill holes in the back of the enclosure or are holes in the top and two sides all you need?

All 4 sides for me, and top

Ok I ended up drilling holes in three of the sides and the top of the enclosure, I'm pretty happy with how it looks, the sling seems to like it too.

I attached the fake plants to the cork bark with hot glue and attached the cork bark to the top of the enclosure with two pins.

I personally dont like those tall top amac boxes to I replace the big top with a flush top from the same dimension amac box. Personal preferance not crazy about bottom opening enclosures even for avic types. But I do have to destroy some webbing, oh well they rebuild it within a night they dont care gives them something to do lol. I usually do a big row up high on both sides, a row of one or two on bottom on at least two sides sometimes all 4, this one only has 2 its an older one, and a star cluster on top so that hot air draws up and out and there is movement from the bottom up to the top as well as on the sides through it.
