air vents!!

[alyssa2704]

Hello, I have started making the custom background for leo’s enclosure and was wondering if the two air vents that are imprinted at the top enough ventilation?
As you can see I have made a cave and underneath is just solid foam so it would be quite difficult to try but some air vents there.

Need cooperdragon to take a look

What does the rest of the enclosure look like? Will those two slots along the back be the only ventilation in the enclosure?

yes there is a little hole in the glass of one of the doors and the doors have gaps between the wood when they’re shut so it’s not as if he is completely sealed in.
There are also two more vents at the bottom but I didn’t think before i started building so they would be covered up by foam.

You could try it out as-is. It kind of depends on the temps and humidity that builds in the enclosure. If you find that those get too high or are tough to control, you could cut some circular vents into the wooden sides of the enclosure and use plugs with sliding fins so you can open and close them (think like the ones on a bbq grill) to control airflow. If you cut them low on the cool end and high on the warm end, that will help encourage airflow via convection.
