ventilation

im in process of building a vivarium for my RETF. Its a 44 gal fish tank. I decided to use the plastic hood but wanted to add some ventilation. The hood has 2 spots for lights and a door for feeding. I removed both peices of glass from the light section and added screen. The sections for light are 3.5 inches and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a small fan to ad in air circulation. Would this be a good idea? Also i was thinking about cutting a hole in the door flap and glueing some screen. Heres some pictures to give you an idea of what im working with.

heres the 44 gal itself. Ive added some glass to make a small pool.

The hood with both openings screened

The light on one and the other is where i was thinking about adding a fan or 2.

The door where i was thinking about cutting the flap a little and adding some screen.

any tips or help would be great.

Hi Blank, i've got some GTF and all i've got is screen lids and they seem happy enough apart from not being able to stick to the screen lol.
I've not heard of anyone using a fan, but i'm sure someone with more experience than me ( only had the frogs for 3ish weeks ) will come along and give more advice

P.S welcome to the forum
