[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 39437, member: 3538"] Is the enclosure(s) for arboreal or terrestrial species and what size T will be in it/them? For arboreals I don't put holes in the top, cross ventilation is required, holes on all 4 sides. For terrestrials, holes in the top vary with what species I'm housing in it. My G. Porter/roses have 24 holes of 3/16" in 3 rows evenly spaced. The B. albopilosum and B. sabulosum have 16 of 3/16" in 2 rows evenly spaced. All these T's are 3 1/2" DLS and larger. No holes in tops of my sling containers, just the sides, they need the extra moisture to aid in molting. Plus easier for them to burrow in moist substrate vs dry and hard. Just keep in mind for the hole size, it needs to be smaller than the carapace of the T in the enclosure. Holes can be covered, whereas putting more in after housing the T will just be stressful for the T and you. Hope this helps you. [/QUOTE]
