Tub hole question

[Jonnyb]

I'm putting holes down each side of the top do you need holes on the front and back of the tub as well ? 6qt 13x4x7

i was thinking os just doing the sides and a row alone the back to let more heat in

what do you think

thanks

I have holes everywhere; don't be afraid to experiment to find out what works for you. They don't really effect temps as much as they do humidity. If you have too many holes and your humidity is to low you can always tape up the excess holes with some painters tape.

do you think these are enough holes to start out with or add more ..?

That seems good for a start. You won't know until you actually have everything running. If your humidity is good then you're done; if its not you may need to add or remove(tape up) some holes.

You really won't know until you get it heated up and put the water bowl in. And then even after you add the snake things may change. I started with a row on both sides and then got it to the correct temp with the water bowl inside. And then added additional rows of holes until I got it right.

Yup those are acceptable temps and humidity ranges.
