Title says it all really. I've a 2.5' x 1.5' x 1.5' viv but there are no ventilation holes. The snake is in a tub inside it which has holes and the door of the viv is open, but when it's transferred to the viv should I have some holes drilled into it? |

Yea, in my head it's going to go great. The reality might not be the same. Here's hoping. |

Cheers for the advice. It's all taken on board. I'll take some pics tomorrow and then hopefully the feed will go well on Saturday. |

Do you think that a clear day/night cycle is better? If so I've a timer I could use for that.
She hasn't eaten yet. Due a feed on Saturday, but apparently feeds really well. She has been fed in the faunarium so I'm planning on keeping her in there until after the feed + 2 days at least.
Will transfer to the viv once I've got more foliage etc. in there. Want her to feel secure and not too exposed. |

200g and longer than the sum of the length and breadth of the tub (or whatever it is - faunarium??) inside the viv. I'm getting more plants etc at the weekend. There's a UV strip there but it's not going to be used much. It'll be lit mostly by natural / room light-bulb light, but the UV is there if I need a quick look-see.

That's what I thought at first. Scale can be deceptive. I only know cos i got a measuring tape and measured it. |

Having a quick look online, the door sliders look a lot like those of a Vivexotic vivarium which apparently has a nifty ventilation system on it.
