New tank, need to make a lid.
We got a new tank for our ball python, Benny. The tank is supposedly 70 gal, but I'm not sure. It's 12" deep by 18" high by 48" long. The problem is; it doesn't have a lid.
So... I need to make one. This is what the tank and the top look like;
And the proposed lid, to scale; (the red line is the outside dimension of the top of the tank, the light blue is the larger holes, and the black is the proposed lid)
The underside would be lined with screen so that the holes in the lid (5" diameter) are covered. The light that we have has a 5 1/2" diameter and would sit on top of one of the holes.
Does this look like it would provide enough ventilation for a ball python?
Any other comments or ideas?

Re: New tank, need to make a lid.
Not sure why, but the last picture in particular is painfully small. Here's a link to that one.

Re: New tank, need to make a lid.
The 5" holes seem a bit excessive. One for the light I can understand. But you may be better off with several smaller holes than a few big holes, in the interest of retaining humidity. Don't worry, he won't be vacuum sealed in. Also, being as how the cage is plexi. It would not be a bad idea to rough up the back and sides and paint them black to give your BP a sense of security.
Good Luck. Nice looking tank you got.
