I'd just drill a few right at the bottom on the side. I wouldn't bother the bottom, unless your helper can help ya set it up on something and let her droop down, so you can get the bottom.No holes yet. I just give it 5 to 10 gallons when she looks like she needs it About every 2 or 3 days. She has been growing with a roof over her head, just moved her out from under it. Going to drill holes and put a saucer “turtle sand box under her and drill the holes now actually. As soon as my help gets here. :smoking:
