    106qt tub, used for young retics and balls is thermostat regulated due to higher wattage heat pad.

    My 32qts : http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-32-Q...learview+boxes . Make sure you have a bungee cord across the top for extra security.


    Omg! TY TY TY!

    List

    Large Sterilite tub for Ana
    Larg Sterilite tub for Sampson
    Medium tub for Kaa

    Exo Terra Heating Pads
    Light Dimmer switches
    Thermostat that's not Zilla brand
    bungee cords

    and sell glass tanks.

    Yet if the temps drop at night would the heating pads alone be enough to keep them warm?

    Yes, if you want a back up then I keep a low watt heat cable around just in case I want to add a little extra heat to the cool side...

    Sorry! I was faffing with defrosting rodents! I use something similar to Physician&Snakes.

    I find this works better for humidity and heat and I find my BP's are actually much happier in these. I use paper towels as substrate simply due to preference as my pastel got mites off the aspen I bought so refuse to take the risk again.

    Yeah don't soak them unless they have stuck shed. If you want, you can mist them if they look wrinkly/dry. I don't soak mine unless they have two consecutive stuck sheds. A little bit of stuck shed won't kill them, but you don't want stuck sheds to pile up.

    Thank you all for being so supportive and helpful :)
