Looks cool mate.

Do you have any of the fans blowing fresh air in or just for circulating the air inside?

Id love a big sliding fridge like that but ill stick with my stella fridge for now lol.

Looking forward to making it.

p.s
Do you have the fans on a timer or are they on constant?

Fans are just circulating the air inside and on all the time if they were turned off I might get a hot spot somewhere
And what's a hot spot not A GOOD SPOT lol sorry (tv show strike it lucky)

Open once a week for fresh air and tubs

But as I'm testing our hognose beer fridge and done the work for you ;)
You won't need a fan as mines 0.6 out top to bottom
I've turned the fan off as it was making the top tubs hotter (strange but there you go)

Lovely! so no fans in mine ill be testing it on Corn eggs ( If my girl proves to be Gravid ) then will be well tested for my Royals.

Ive got to keep a close eye on it as it will be sitting on my Rat freezer so ill have to watch the heat coming up from that.

Should be a nice venture tho. What size mat have you got in yours?

This is the one
I'm sure it may be cheaper somewhere else
But you get the idea
It bends very well :)

That's like the one I got but with magnetic doors
With 4 fans and a phone charger they do well as an incubator
