Im building my first viv. Its 6x2x2 so its fairly long. Im just wondering. Where should i put the vents? I was gonna add them to the sides but i feel the heat could get trapped by the 6ft roof. Im thinking maybe 2 2ft vents ontop? The top would be best for cosmetics because i plan to make a fake rock background and i really dont like seeing vents on rock. Not very naturalXD i would totaly post a pic. But im not quite sure on how to right now. But its a basic melamine box with no front or back. Front will be glass sliding doors and the back will be thinner wood or mdf board. Thanks a lot:)

I agree. Having them low on the cool side and high on the hot side will allow for convection ventilation.

Thanks guys. Ill put vent on top side near the heat lamp and down low on the side without. Would it be smart to put a little vent in the warm back corner if i plan to build a face rock hide? The vent would be inside the hide.

Probably isn't necessary but depends on the temps you get. Might make sense to cut a hole and then you could either put a screen vent in or just fill it with a round cap if the vent isn't needed.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
