I would highly recommend getting a soldering iron , mine was $5:99 from bunnings , well worth it and no more cracked tubs .

But if you must use drills get a sharp bit

I've drilled the sistema ones without any problem. Use a sharp bit (ie new) and light pressure, too easy.

if you have a dremel, they work bloody fantastic. they produce 2mm holes, do so at high speed so you dont crack the plastic, make perfect clean holes and you can use a grinding attachment to clean up the waste etc, so you're pet can rub its little heart out, the container aint gonna hurt it.

on the other hand, if you have a cheap soldering iron (dont use a good one, you'll stuff it) you'll find theres a perfect temperature that will punch a perfect hole, then use pliers to snap off the little rings it produces. (the heat stresses them. you can do it with nails, but you will. not might, will, hurt yourself)

When we used those click clacks for our snakes when they were hatchies, we just used one of those metal skewers that you use for testing whether meat/cakes etc are cooked. We heated it up with the flame on our gas stove cook top and put heaps of holes in the lid and the sides. A good size as the hatchies can't fit through the skewer holes. Cheers Cheryl

the holes a skewer leaves are too small imo. you would need hundreds for adequate ventilation

[Tsidasa]

depends if she means a thing skewer or the type i think she means that you test meat and cakes with, they're not that skinny

[rodentrancher]

Yeah a metal skewer. And the holes aren't that tiny. We didn't have to do hundreds eh?

Do you recommend putting holes in the lid, or down the bottom along the sides of the click-clack? Or both?

Definitely both, for air flow.

my stimmie click clack

[Miss B]

Thanks for the pics!

How do you regulate the temperature in a click-clack when using a heatmat?

[Miss B]

Bump!

[hornet]

if your talking bout the metal skewers that are about 4-5mm in diameter then i dont think that would give enough airflow

Jessie - is that Tupperware?

How big does the click clack have to be?

I think the two I got are a little tall They are both around 20L - one is 28L.

We plan on getting a spotted python and a water python - both as hatchies or juvis.
