Being new to the hobby, and being a handy-gadget guy with MTS (multiple tarantula syndrome) I've already emotionally committed myself to acquiring an Avic; A. versicolor to be exact.
I found a candidate-enclosure on amazon.com, it measures 7" tall by about 5" x 5" and is hard clear plastic. I took the liberty of buying one already for the whopping sum of $2.99. It has now increased to $6.49 but still worth it.
My plan is to drill a series of holes in each of the 4 sides starting from the lid separation line downwards to about 1.5" from the bottom to create a ventilated enclosure. The lid area will remain unperforated to contain humidity.
I wonder how much ventilation should be created, ie, how many holes per panel and what size holes. Can anyone provide guidance?
No rush. I am considering a sling of about 1" in size, so it will be a while until this enclosure is needed.
