Blueprints! You're funny.
Like a lot of my projects, I made a sketch on graph paper with some measurements, then winged it from there. The rear vent opening wasn't thought of until I had the plywood cut, and the shelf and dowels were thought of and added last minute, after I was already to put Snakey in. The duct for the humidity was also an afterthought.

Thats a good idea. When I made the duct, I wasn't thinking about how close to the wall the opening would be. When I set the humidifier on the floor, thinking it would blow right up into the opening, I realized that I had to turn the humidifier around to face the wall, and the mist was mostly missing the opening. I used some blue tape to flare the opening and get the mist to go in, but now I'm thinking it may be too much. Even on it's lowest setting, the humidity goes up really quick, but more importantly, water condenses on the inside of the duct, and I can't let that get out of control since the viv is wood. I'm going to see what happens if I take the tape off and leave it on the lowest setting. Maybe it won't collect as much, or any condensation, and will allow me to run the humidifier constantly. I havent tried the wet towel in the duct yet, either. That may be enough except when he's shedding.
