I am well on my way in building my first cage, however, I have run into a stumbling block..what to use as side vents..after searching Home Dep. high and low, I saw some shower drain covers that looked good, but I had to get the whole kit $8.00. I ended up buying 4" dryer vents...I now hate them.
On my way home I thought that I would get those kitchen sink drain strainers ...about 1.5 " round and use them.

So, can I have your suggestions, as I want to finish it up sooner thant later.

Also, can I just use 1 heat type vent on the back or is the cross vetalenton the best...Its for a ball python

Thanks
Brian

you could use screen sandwiched between a frame and the wall where the hole is cut into

Good Idea, how would to make it "Finished" on both sides other than making 2 sets?

i'd put the frame on the outside. It shouldn't need it on the inside.

I use this 4" round PVC drain for vents in my cages.
You can get them at Home Depot for about $1.50 each.

They are available in Canada and so are at least 10,000 other products just like them. Home Depot, Home Hardware, Crappy Tire, et etc all has vents like that. Tons of them in fact.
