    Just wondering is there a problem with the gasket boxes being air tight? If there are plenty of holes made for ventilation is there an issue?

    I currently have one set up as a QT tub. No snake in it yet but I've been testing temps and humidity for months with no noticable issues spotted, so I'm curious is there anything I'm not considering?

    Curious about this too, because honestly the gasket boxes seem more secure than a regular tote box. You don't have to modify them for the snake not to escape.

    I would put enough holes to allow air flow for sure and was thinking this would allow more control without having to account for leakage at the rim and the latch system is better.
    i am going to use a small table with some ceramic tiles on top to insulate the table a bit
    ultratherm heater pad and thermostat
    2 hides
    water bowl
    maybe a nice limestone rock with a flat top on the warm side
    substrate of some type
