Hi. I have 2 exo terras that I will be replacing the mesh on tomorrow. I'm using the plastic from the sides of an old Really Useful Box that my kids broke the bottom of (I told them not to jump on the lid, so they turned it upside down and jumped on the bottom instead *sigh*).
I'm just looking for recommendations on the quantity, size and placement of the air holes I'll be drilling. As the lower vents are at the front, would it be best to place the air holes towards the back of the lid so that there is maximum air flow through the enclosure? Or have them at the front so that there is more of a microclimate towards the back half? Or all over? Would lots of very small holes be better or fewer larger ones? I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but I'd rather do it properly now before the Ts go in.
They are for juvenile P. formosa and A. bicegoi.
Many thanks in advance.
(BTW, I realise that enclosures with more cross ventilation would be preferred, but as I already have these, and they can be locked to prevent access by my children, I would rather stick with these.)
