    Plexi glass cover w/pic -Enough air holes?

    Hello all. Tonight I made a plexiglass cover for my snake tank. The tank is a 20 long. Its made out of high-temp plexi glass and is pretty sturdy stuff. I'm hoping it helps me hold proper humidity levels.

    I've got 3 (1 1/4 inch) holes on each side. 6 holes total. Do you think this will be enough for air to get through?

    Honestly it will depends on how your humidity and ambient temps are. Give it a day and see what happens.

    Looks good though.

    Nicely done! I agree with all the above posters. It is much easier to add holes than to take them away!

    If it still seems to much ( Doubt it will be) But you could put a rag in a hole or two or something should help with humidity. Looks great

    So far so good. Keeping the tank at an ambient temp of 80.5. The corners are at about 76 but I'm not too worried about it. Pretty good for a cold a$$ house. Humidity is at an even 50%.
