Hey there Ken
This is a pic of the cage I built for Oscar my BD. I know the vents are pretty hard to see but it gives you a bit of an idea.
The cage dimensions are 4' x 3' x 2' and the vents are about 4" x 3" he's been in there for a bit over 3 months now and appears to be loving it!
I hope this helps.

Here is the cage I built for Dino, the vents are on the top, and I have grills installed in them for air flow. My friend did the cutting for me, and he was supposed to put them on the sides, near the top, but when I got home, they were on the top. Works pretty well though. The vents measure about 8" x 7" and the enclosure dimensions are 55"L x 21"H x 24"W(a little less than that once I mad the fake rock wall). Hope this helps.

How big is the vent you are going to put in? If it is small, then I would do two, it probably wouldn't hurt to put one in on the side. Do you have any pics of your work in progress?

here is an old pic i am farther along now i will be done today and i will post another. you can see the opening in the top it is 40 inches long and 3.5 inches high i think this should suffice.

Yeah, I think that is plenty. Are you going to cover it with hardware cloth or something?
