    Question Sterilite Nuber & Size of vent holes??

    Could someone give me an estimate or starting point on the number, placement, and size of holes to drill in a Sterilite 40Qt/38L tub. It is approximately 32"x16"x7".

    Thanks a million. One day I will be able to help others, I hope

    It kind of depends on your environment. I would start off with just a couple holes setup the tub with your substrate, water and hides, heat it up to the proper temp gradient and see where you are with humidity after a day or so. Then adjust from there, keep in mind it's easier to add more holes than plug existing ones As for making the holes I use a soldiering iron, works perfect nice clean holes and a perfect size!

    I also use a soldering iron. There's no danger in those fumes, I hope.
