    Is this enough holes for air?
    I use a piece of plexi glass In between the tank and screen top to keep the humidity in, and before i used a piece that was just long enough to cover a little over 3/4 the tank, but vic has lately been going in between it too much at night almost breaking the screen top, so i got a new cut, this time its thicker (1/4 inch) and covers the hole top so i had to drill some holes, does this seem like enough holes? By the way the holes are about 1/4 inch wide and theres 10 holes all together.....http://img.tapatalk.com/18bc845a-1504-c9e9.jpg

    I'd maybe give a few more, potentially the double of what you have there if that's the only ventilation for the enclosure.

    Indeed, it wouldn't hurt to add a few more. Great idea for humidity upkeep, btw :gj: Plexi is the best.

    Judge your hole count with your humidity. Too humid, more holes. Not humid enough, too many holes.

    I would add a few more holes. But only a couple at a time. If it gets to where too much humidity is escaping, (as long as your holes are small) you can put tape over them on the outside edge.
