Hello,

I'm new to this and in the process of putting together my first vivarium. Do I need to include an air vent or can I completely seal the vivarium?

Thank you

Both air vents and internal circulation can be helpful.

Pumilo, thank you for the response. The thread you linked answered all the questions I had about air circulation and venting vivariums.

If you decide to pursue putting in vents and or circulation I have some more good links.

Would you please provide a link for placing a vent or a guideline as to how much of an area I should open up for venting hot air? I am using a 20 gallon high aquarium for my first vivarium and I placed a glass top slit in two pieces (like a regular aquarium glass top.)
