Hey! I am building a 4x2x2 custom Melamine enclosure for my beardie Fred. I am going to cut vent holes in the sides (1 up top on the hot side and one lower on the cool side) and I am wondering about vent dimensions for retaining heat, providing adequate airflow, and managing humidity...
Relevant things...
- I am using glass for the doors instead of plexiglass/acrylic
- I will be jigsawing rectangles and using window screen/decorative trim rather than actual vent covers
- Mounting my basking light and UVB inside the enclosure
Thanks!
Side question... Thinking about adding a dig box since there will be plenty of extra room... What dimensions would be good for a dig box? Beardie is 18" length from snout to tail. Are dig boxes a good idea? Risk of impaction? (Obviously won't feed inside of the dig box...)
