Question about a Tub

You can set the thermostat to whatever it takes to get the bottom of the tub to 92. I wouldn't go over 105, but it shouldn't need to be that high anyway.

I would avoid putting holes in the top. You can put holes in the top, but most people prefer them on the sides.

Ok sounds good thank you very much! So just however many holes are needed to get it right around the 60% humidity range is what I should go for?

And a radom question regarding feeding. If she is 136 grams currently and an adult mouse makes a very slight bump in her stomach...would I be better off getting her started on rat pups?

Also, do NOT cover the t-stat probe itself with the aluminum tape! The metal tape will absorb the heat and give your probe false readings. Secure the probe behind the probe itself on the wire only. :gj:

Number of holes varies greatly depending on the climate you live in. It is something that you will have to figure out. Remember that it is much easier to add more holes than it is to cover them up.

For young BP's the best way to judge feeding is to go by weight. The rule is 15% of the snakes body weight.

So say you have a 100 gram BP. 100g x 0.15 = 15g so you should feed that 100 gram BP 15 grams of rodent. This works really well for young BP's but not so much for adults.
