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?

Are they the new slots rather than the circular holes

You could put some hopes at the bottom at the cool end, and the top at the warm end, this way the warm air escapes pulling fresh air in at the cool end to replace it. Alternatively, some people use computer fans on stats to draw and blow air through the viv. Hope this helps a bit.

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

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
