Tub setup

[TDent1]

We recently got a BP and even though I love the look of his enclosure, it's too big for a juvenile and it doesn't hold humidity well. His first shed with us was horrible! I peeled every bit of shed off of him. Luckily he's a hardy boy. He even managed to eat an African hopper after a stressful two weeks of bad shed the same night I got the skin off his face and neck! Today I bought two tubs, a 15 qt tub for him now and a 34 qt tub for him when he's full grown. I have a thermostat, 2 hides and a water bowl as well as some bedding. I'm ready to set up his tub but I want to do it right. How do you guys set up your tubs for juveniles, and in the future adults? I want to know how many holes to drill for humidity and such. Also, I'd like to find an inexpensive timer to set up a day/night schedule. Advice is much appreciated!

Also, is anyone attending the Arlington show? A local pet store owner who enjoys breeding is going to pick up some balls in February and I'm hoping to pick up a female and I'm hoping he can find some good animals!

Unfortunately I'm away from a computer, so I don't have access to my pictures, but tub setups are pretty simple, which is what makes them so great! Water dish in the middle and hides on either end. Warm spot about 88-90 and cool end can safely be as low as high 70's.

As for ventilation holes, each setup depends on your particular climate. Start off with a few, and if you're getting a lot of condensation, then add more holes until you find the balance that works for you.
