it would seem that the vivexotic 2ft vivs don't seem to have enough air flow. as the weather is warming up my cold end temp is 29c. looks like i will be getting my drill out to put some holes in the back of the viv to let some cool air in when clover has shed. my question is do i drill the holes in the top to let the warm air out, as heat rises or do i put holes in the bottom to let cool air in. or a combination of both? |

never thought about doing it that way. i might put holes in bottom at cold end and if it doesn't help then put some at the hot end |

yeah one in the middle at the top and one in the middle at the bottom
the 3ft has the same slots but 2 at the top, one at each end and 2 at the bottom, one at each end. temps are fine in that one |

Are they the new slots rather than the circular holes |
