interesting....so i should remove the heat lamp and heat outside the FC or heat the room if the temp needs to go up and replace the lights with bluer lights or in the 6500 range. Hopefully walmart will just let me buy the lid only to a bin haha.
well thanks everyone I really appriciate it

Number of holes looks fine to me. Make sure you lift the fc a few inches of the ground. And a lot more perlite...

Double up the perlite.
Holes look great.

That's perhaps some of the worst advice I've read on this board in a long time. It's a simple repeat of incorrect information in Stamets' TMC from 20+ years ago, that he doesn't even still repeat. Paul now recommends 12/12 of bright fluorescent light in the 6,500 Kelvin color temperature range.
Your light is fine, and bright light is always better, but as said, don't heat your terrarium. It will cause your precious humidity to be turned into condensation on the walls. Heat the general area the terrarium is located, but not the terrarium itself. Good luck.
Get your terrarium off that carpet, and make sure you have holes in the bottom and top as well. You need at least 1" of air space below the terrarium. Your humidity will actually increase if you'll follow the tek. The only problem I see is those appear to be larger than 1/4" holes(6mm). It must be remembered that a 1/2" hole is 4 times as large as a 1/4" hole, so by going larger you can screw things up. RR

thanks RR all the holes exept the ones on the top are 1/4" but I think I'm gunna replace the lid anyways.
So it looks like I will just take out the heat lamp, get it off the towel, add more perlite and put some blocks under the corners to lift it up. Also I will make sure the bulbs I have are in the 6500k range.

That's a good question. I've always heard the word observative, but was unable to get a solid grasp utilizing internet sources as to whether it is an acceptable usage or not... I didn't look in a real dictionary, sorry. The spellcheck here and in Word says NO...
It is kind of clumsy sounding...
