You did a great job setting it up IMO - nice job for a first time build. :) With there just being 3 in it currently it'll work for a while, but you'll need to monitor it closely so it doesn't dry out. It's also important they have a side that isn't quite as wet so just add water to one end and let it spread out .. I hope that makes sense? You'll find it will be a whole lot easier keeping a moisture gradient when you move them to a larger enclosure. I'd suggest something like a 12qt or larger for them when you do upgrade. Personally, I *love* these bins. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Stackable-Clear-Storage-Bins-Lids-Large-Plastic-w-Handle-Acrylic-Pantry-Organization-Kitchen-Fridge-Cabinet-Refrigerator-Bathroom-Organizer/5079784547 I have 12 of my colonies in them and they work great. I use a soldering iron with the smallest attachment and poke some holes on one end and the lid on the same end. How many depends on the species, if it's one that needs higher ventilation you'll obviously want more holes. :) When you use the soldering iron, its best to do it outside or at least in a very well ventilated area - have a ceiling fan or something on - the fumes are pretty gross, lol.
