livingart Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 air holes with insect screening along sides and back and the lids will have gaps angled roof should allow air to pool then release from top if that is not sufficient will put mesh door in one end and look at fan on probe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I found with heat pads that the temperature depends a lot on what is in contact with it and how well the heat can escape. I tried using one when breeding locusts and successfully cooked the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
