    It is very easy to put holes on that rubbermaid. It doesn't even have to be round holes. If you don't have a screwdriver (get one! It's a buck at the dollar store and you can use it for all sort of stuff like replacing batteries and such) you can just go get a knife and punch an X into the sides of the bin and poke it from the inside out with your fingertip. I'm gonna flip if you say you don't have a knife...

    Anyway, once you put a water bowl inside that rubber maid you can easily get humidity close to 100 with that UTH. You will notice a lot of condensation on the lid of that rubbermaid. Especially when your snake spills his water bowl onto your substrate.

    Sure you can do air exchanges if you open the tub daily to handle the snake. But, when your snake is in shed, when you want to go on a weekend party, when you get too busy, you'll find out soon enough it will not always work out that way.

    Richieboo - the tub is about a foot and a half long, and a foot wide, and Riddle is...somewhere around 14 inches, I think.

    And I did what you guys suggested, using a knife to put holes in the side =) I'm pretty sure I need a bigger heating pad, though. The one the breeder told me to get seems too small, as it only just covers the bottom of the hide, so I don't think it's heating the tub well enough >> I'm going out tonight to exchange the pad so my little guy doesn't have to chill on his hide the whole time.

    Thank you all for your comments! Like I said, it's one thing researching these guys, and another thing entirely having one. Seeing as it's only my second day with him, I'm hoping I'll learn pretty quick.

    What a little cutie pie!

    And yes, reading about them and owning them are two TOTALLY different things, the good news is, you have this amazing place to turn to for help. I know my babies and I couldn't get along without this place.
