Fans for ventilation

[davisc12]

I see alot of people using pc fans laying ontop of the enclosure blowing up to help circulate air up through the enclosure. I did add one fan on top but was wondering if it would be ok to have one mounted at the bottom set realy low blowing in aswell. This one would not be on all the time maybe a few hours a day

I’m doing exactly the same, but mine are running 24/7, since then I’m not having any excess water anymore (bottom is bioactive)

But you do have one low blowing into the enclosure? Im not bio active, but i did close in 3 sides so wqnt to make sure it dries out during the day

Correct, using one for blowing in air at the bottom (as low as possible to the floor) and one on top sucking air out. Also with the sides closed.

Thank you! I plan on doing the same thing but hear alot of people say to avoid drafty afreas so i figured a fan blowing in may not be recommended.

Pc fan would create a draft, the air flow minimally and acceptable. There’re also “special fan for reptiles” but they’re just fancy pc fans. It’s true about drafts, but that’s with a more volumineus airflow.

I actually just did this about a month ago. I didn't realize it was actually a thing, although both are controlled and connected to the pc. she enjoys it when the fans give her the natural breeze and make her leafs shake. i have a glass terrarium and a veiled chameleon

I also faced overheating, especially when playing heavy games. As a result, I installed fans everywhere - on top, bottom, sides, to improve air circulation as much as possible. This really helped to reduce the temperature, and the computer began to work much more stably. Now I play regular games or go to get casino bonuses from time to time, gamblizard does not pull anything at all, so my fans are just gathering dust. I do not even remember the last time I heard their noise. I will need to somehow remember the old forgotten past.

The main thing is that there is no conflict with air flows, but if it does not work all the time, then there should be no problems.

I have a 40mm fan blowing air out at the bottom of my custom enclosure. I also have a small 20mm fan in a housing and disguised with fake leaves that blows along the bottom of the cage floor to dry up any puddles. My ventilation fans run 20min of every hour to dry out the floor when needed and change out the air. Make sure to use screen or pvc mesh to guard your chams from getting into contact with fan blades.
