I usually put about 12 or so on the front, and about 3-4 on each side.

Best method for adding holes imo is to use a soldering iron. Makes clean holes without sharp edges. As far as the number of holes needed that depends on the type of rack (vision/FB etc do not need added holes, where as just about any others will be dependent on the humidity of your region.)

Thanks. I just ordered one of the iris racks from AP. Figured I'de get the tubs all cleaned, aired out and ready for when I bring my bp home from breeder.
