Ventilation

[Smalltowngal]

Hi all,
I have a 5X2X2 custom inclosure that I bought from somebody with a bearded dragon, my Norman. Well after reading all these I have noticed that everyone has either vents or a screen top, but I have neither, Im now very concerned about my humidity being too high. Any suggestions on how I can keep the humidity down? Is it possible to put vents in my already built enclosure?
Thanks!

You could always purchase some vents from Lowe's or Home Depot and retrofit them into your enclosure. Do you have a way of checking the humidity?

No, I dont ): How would I make the holes for the vents though?

The crossfire design uses these 3" vents that you can get in the roofing section at Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/pd_17208-228-50002_0__?productId=3017509&Ntt=air+vent&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dair%2Bvent%26page%3D3
All you need to do is cut 3" circle holes in the location that you want them... I used this drill bit on a standard power drill: http://www.lowes.com/pd_348145-28303-1772963_4294778733_4294937087_?productId=3361292&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_quantity_sold|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Hole%2BSaws%2BAccessories_4294778733_4294937087_%3FNs%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_quantity_sold|1%26page%3D4

I also cut holes in the sides for 8"x16" vents (also in the roofing section at lowes) based on the crossfire design.

Check out the original crossfire site and check out the sections near the beginning where he talks about the vents. http://crossfireenclosures.webs.com/
