I can't drill a drain hole here since after a few week hundreds of fire 
ants will start to live breed and defaecate inside. Then everything goes 
to pieces as their by products are very corrosive.  If you have worries 
about moisture I (due to condensation from temperature extreme 
variations which we don't have on the tropics) I recommend putting a few 
packages of Silica Gel put inside before you close the box. Also there 
is the option of potting are even filling the finish product with that 
spray material Neat Stuff available at Home Depot which will fill all 
the voids and keep it dry in any climate.
