One, decide where you want to vent at and drill some holes at a low speed, or what I did was cut out a rectangle with a razor blade, drilled some holes along the outside then put a piece of perforated metal screen over it and bolted it down.
Two 3" diameter non-adjustable vents in the back towards the top.

Thank you very much. Based on the dimensions of my cage, what size rectangle would you suggest cutting?
A razor blade? As in box-cutter? I might have to use a drill this stuff is nearly half an inch thick!


Finally, with the temperatures the way they are now, would it be OK to introduce my snake to its new home?
The way he lives now the cool side is basically room temperature (which is currently around 80) but my snake generally
stays in the hide which is under the CHE I'm using in that cage. I don't want it to overheat or anything if it is unable to find
a spot below 83 degrees. Worse comes to worst I suppose it could dip into the water dish but that could barely be any cooler
than the surrounding air.
