    Tub Holes Question

    Hey guys just curious how many holes you have in your tubs?
    In my 41qt that my female is in I have about 40 quarter inch in the lid of the bin. In the 34qt my male is in I have about 20 quarter inch holes on each side, so 40 total.
    Im just wondering if this is enough for them to breath?
    Im probably just overthinking but Ive had them like this for about 3 weeks and they both are A ok...

    It's variable depends on ambient temps, substrate, tub size, humidity level.

    To setup a tub the best is to add a few holes. set up your tub with the substrate and a water dish (full of water of course) place the tub over your heat pad, close the lid, get your temps stable, check your humidity add a few more holes if needed, check your humidity again add more holes if needed again.

    40 holes will be plenty enough.
