I just used a drill and drilled out the dimples you'll see in the corners. Then just snipped off the rough bits with a pen knife.
You can also use a hot screw driver or a soldering iron.

If its a hatchie watch out for the bigger RUB lids, they are not airtight and have a considerable gap. The smaller ones are evidentally not aa bad but my RUB's are 18 litre and a hatchie would escape easily out of the gap.

I started off drilling, but ended up using a soldering iron coz it's quick and easy and neater. Through the dimples.

The lids on rubs aren't airtight but is always good to get more air in...

No hes about 3 years old and 4ft long were thinking of taking him on as his owner doesnt want him anymore as it was their partner who handled him.
