    The tubs aren't sealed so they get plenty of air. Natively they live in the bottom of termite hills (very small enclosed spaces)...so these tubs make for a natural tight space for them to feel comfortable in.

    Hope this helps.

    It depends on the rack you build...in the one I posted no you don't. In some (that are more bookcase like) you might and in that case you would burn small holes in the tubs to allow for airflow. (It all depends on how you setup the rack and then the amount of airflow and humidity)

    It is hard to say...though holes are easy to plug is you get to many. I would start out with 5-10 per side (zero in the top) and then measure your temps and humidity. Once you see where it lands you can add more holes or plug some to dial it in.
