RetiredJedi, what size bin do you start out with for your hatchlings? I see that you said $15 for a bin, but the 15q I see are only about $6... Do you use a bigger size?
Keeping an eye on this thread since I'm interested in cheap but great setups as well. :3

You know I was taking a guess because I used a tub I had at home already but I think 15q is about the size I have right now. What I did was look at the Wal-mart site and took a guess. That's why I put +/- and I'm not a good judge of it just by looking. I just made sure that with two hides and a water bowl my 145g BP has enough room to move a little but not too much room to make it look like it's too wide open. Let me put it this way when I put THIS PACKING PAPER down on the bottom of the tub I have to fold the sides in about an inch or so on each side for it to fit.

I see. :3 I'm gonna be using a 15q tub I found at home, but only yesterday I realised it was a 15q. I checked at walmart and they were only $6.
That's the type of UTH I plan on getting. :3 I'm just gonna order it online though since Reptilebasics has them for like 14.99.(not sure on the shipping though)
Thanks for the reply though! I was just curious what bin you used. :3

Obi Wan there pretty much nailed it.
However, the substrate could just be newspaper or paper towls which you should already have anyways. And just one Accurite will do.
And a scale isn't really needed unless you plan on breeding. You should be able to tell if a snake is underweight just by looking at it.

15 qt is perfect for a hatchling (you can pick up small bowls to turn into hides from the dollar store) once they get bigger, you can move them to a larger, more permanant tub.
