ok im new to BPs. i do not have one yet, i will be getting one at a reptile show on nov 7th. i will be getting a baby. im using a 15qt sterlight container for enclosure. i have a heat pad on one side. the temps are around 92 in the hot hide and around 80 on the cool side. the hot hide is a small exoterra snake rock that i won a few months ago, i think it will be fine. i bought a small plastic container for the cool side but i cant seem to find a dark colored bowl for some reason. is there a safe way to paint the bowl? i have a peice of PVC 2" pipe but its open on two sides and i dont think he would like it. thanks
