    Re: Ball python plastic tub holes?

    Start with the least amount of holes you can, check humidity and add more if needed. Wal-Mart carries these accurites, just picked up 5 more at 8 bucks each.

    as you should be! but being safe around those plastics is very easy once you practice proper safety!
    IMPORTANT PSA: ONLY use a soldering iron on plastic in a WELL-VENTILATED area with a fan to push the fumes AWAY from you!!!

    if you can smell plastic, you're doing it wrong!!!

    i love you all.

    I solder at least 10 holes total for a 15qt, and just add more as needed depending on how the humidity is turning out.

    It's -40°C where some of us live! Screw outside.


    In all seriousness though, I second what everyone else has said. Set it up with the accurate hydrometer, see what the humidity sits at with the holes you have and just add more as needed until you hit your desired humidity.
