Tub setup

Yay! I finished my first tub and I just put my female in.

Details:
41qt tub with a crapload of holes
homemade plastic hides
water bowl
fake plants
Accurite
UTH under one side
gift wrap paper as substrate
binder clips on top

After two days of adjusting temps and adding holes to maintain humidity, it's done! And I finally got around to taking some crappy pics of her.
Getting chunky...

Nice setup :gj:. never seen anybody put plants in a tub before.

Leave the paper on the sticky side of the UTH. Place UTH under tub. Done. :D

(Don't stick the UTH to the tub.)

ok sounds easy enough thanks should i get it one of those dimmers to lower the heat?

most definitely, if left unregulated they can cause some really nasty burns.

thank you

It looks great! Good job on it :)

Welcome to the tub club :P

A thermostat would be better than a dimmer to regulate. ( prefer to place the probe directly on the heat tape outside the tubs, the snake can't move it out and getting the temp get crazy since the probe is not recording the right information).

In my rack, right now, my thermostat is heating only at 10% to keep the temperature at 95, so the inside of my tubs are at 90-92 (depending on the level).

btw : the plants are nice, but does it have enough space to crawl ? a BP prefer to be flat. I suppose the plants are not taking all the bottom surface and it give it some hides so :)

and make sure those clip are enough solid.
