    Too big?
    I bought this tank a year ago and I forgot If It's a 20L or a 30L. I always assumed It was a 20L so I bought 2 Zoo Med UTH's. The UTH's that I bought are for 10-20L. Tell me If I need bigger ones or not.

    Hi - those should be fine - just be sure you have each one controlled with a thermostat of some sort so that they don't overheat.

    Also, I see two 1/2 log hides in the back - you may wish to consider something a little more closed in, that allows the snake to feels that it's really hiding. They tend to feel a bit too exposed in the 1/2 log hides.

    Other than that - great job on planning ahead! :gj:

    Oh, those are oooold. I bought some RBI hides which I heard are legit. Thanks, I was a little worried they'd be too small, lol.

    Excellent! No - I think they'll be just fine and are space enough apart to provide a nice temp gradient!

    Good thing you got 2. I've got the same setup and I have to use a heat lamp to supplement. I've got a feeling if I got a second UTH and t-stat they could regulate the temps without the heatlamp.

    That looks like a 20L by the way. LxWxH it should measure 30x12x12.
