Just got the BP 2 days ago. S/he came with a 55 gallon aquarium tank. The UTH died so I am thinking of just switching to a plastic tote/tub with some vent/air holes and the top cut out {hardware cloth put on to accommodate heat lamp} buying a suitable under tank for one side, maybe this one: http://www.reptilebasics.com/ultrath...ter-uth-11-x11
a good (budget) thermostat:

two new "hides" as the tank that can with the snake only has 1

The snake is 60" (5 feet) long, the guy I bought it from said it was about 15 years old.

So here are my questions:
1) Will the snake adjust to the switch?
2) how big would the tote/tub need to be?
3) Should I just get the new under tank and leave what is working alone?

I appreciate all help on this and THANKS!
