Yes I do 35mm vents at the moment.
I can also do steel vents with 4mm holes to any size and shape in a choice of colours |
 Plenty of Retics and Burms

| Just an observation... it seems like in the UK a wood/acrylic enclosure is the norm while in the US the reptile glass tanks or plastic tub racks are. I have to say, the glass tanks are a lot harder to stabilize as far as temperature and humidity goes. I'm sure the wood enclosures are much easier. |

The wooden vivs are very common, I've got a couple of American snake books that show loads of different enclosures but no wooden ones lol.
I like the open-ness of the glass tanks I just don't like them as much. |
