    What is the right size and best way to set up a tub?
    I currently have my adopted BP in a 40 gallon breeder terrarium. After reading many of the threads on this site I think I would like to move her to a tub. Let's say I am going to move nothing over from the tank. What do I need to set up a tub for an adult BP?

    1 40 quart Sterilite
    Heat tape
    Thermostat
    1 Accurite
    Bedding
    Large Crock Water dish
    1 small kitty litter pan with entrance soldered out for a hide.

    I have used a UTH but I don't know anything about heat tape where do you get it and how do you set it up?

    Essentially the same thing. UTH on a thermostat will be fine!

    So do I only need one hide in a tub then? Or should I have one on the hot side an one on the cool side?

    That particular hide is large enough to provide a warm and cool spot inside it. In this photo, the snake was in the cool side of the hide:
