    Welcome to the site!

    Number of holes varies based on humidity inside the tub.

    More holes = less humidity.

    Less holes = more humidity.

    You want just enough holes to maintain the humidity in the tub around 60%

    What type of thermostat do you have for the UTH? What type of thermometer are you using?

    Holes for what? If it's for humidity, I would check the humidity level first then start putting holes.

    Start with 0 holes. It's easier to add new holes than remove holes you don't want.

    Ok im waiting for heater to get here so i can test it. I got a ziploc tub i believe its airtight so i might need a few holes, unless i can take out the sealer on the lid. I just got that one because it had 4 latches on the lid.
