Message: <blockquote data-quote="DreadedNeith" data-source="post: 135436" data-attributes="member: 28071">Ok so right now i Have my avic metallica in a 10 gallon tank that i converted into a vertical enclosure. Ive only had her for about a month and 1/2 to 2 months and she just finally settled down enough to begin eating and webbing.I AM worred though because her enclosure only has vent holes in the front. The entire front is clear hard plastic covered in holes but i am worried because it doesnt have cross vents. I have another tank (10 gallin glass) that i want to try and drill cross vents into with diamond drill bits but i am worried about transfering her again and stressing her out. I have a fan running in her room at all times and i open her enclosure every other day for a minute or 2. I also have a large critter keeper that i was thinking of keeping vertical and putting cross cents into that. I could also try to drill the holes while she is in the tank by covering the glass with a wet rag to catch dust but i am worried that may stress her also. I am also worried if the tank cracks while i am drilling the holes i will have to transfer her. I guess my question is, should i transfer her to a new enclosure or is she fine right where she is? If i did transfer her would it be too much stress on her?  If I should wait to transfer her, how long should I wait?[ATTACH=full]31688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]31689[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]31689[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
