my first enclosure attempt..

[Yve]

I went hog wild at home depot today and started to build 4 snake enclosures. I'm using blk melamine and have a few questions about covering the edges. I bought the preglued veneer edging which you iron on to the exposed edges but I don't know what to do about the edges showing around the ventilation holes. I'm putting metal vents on the outside of the tank but what should i do with the inside? Should I screw in a vent on that side too? I don't think it will look good uncovered even if it is veneered. Any ideas to offer?
