Q:"i'm going to make a rubbermaid container for an 02 male

A: Wal-mart and K-mart carry loads of rubbermaids and sterlite containers and there are also websites for these products.
Q: "what heat source should i use?"
A: I use UTH Dragon Lair Heat Mat and human heating pads(on low setting remains constant 90 degrees.)
Q: "where do i drill holes? "
A: drill holes about 2-3 inches from the top all the way around and few in the lid. Start with fewer holes so that you can see how your humidity is holding up, you can always add more holes but its hard to fill those suckers up, LOL.
Q: "if you have pics could you post them thanks showing heat source and holes thanks"
A: check the the URL I e-mailed you.
