Hello there, although ventilation has been discussed before, after some post searching I feel my question is specific to my set up.
So, my leopard tortoise is living in a luggage trailer I converted. It holds heat nicely I find, and recently I introduced a humidifier to pump up the humidity levels after reading some information I hadn't come across before online.
Currently however the only form of ventilation is opening the door you can see in the pictures provided, that of course allows too much heat to escape and I would assume the humidity would suffer the same fate.
I have an old extractor fan in my possession, and my idea was to invert it so air was blown into the enclosure on a slow spin, whilst also having a vent elsewhere for stale air to leave the enclosure.
I'm unsure however if the fan blowing air in will cause the humidity or heat to drop, I of course want to avoid damp and mould, so air circulation is important. I feel the fan would help with fresh air coming into the trailer easier, as the trailer sits in the garage so there isn't really a breeze to help usher it in.
Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.
