    I'm going first thing tomorrow morning to pick up my Sterilite container and I will try again. My new guy will arrive on Tuesday, so I will make sure to have everything completely dialed in tomorrow. I set this up 4 days ago to make sure I was prepared or had time to make changes. My other BP is in a 40 gal breeder tank and I have it dialed in perfectly but so many people were saying how much better plastic holds Temps and humidity so I figured I'd try that route this time.

    Okay... So I actually went ahead and drove to pick up my order today instead of in the morning. I got the exact tote a lot of people recommended which is the 54 quart sterilite gasket box. It does not look like it is going to be large enough for two hides though and this is concerning to me because everything I have ever read says that they need two hides.

    Two aren't required. My BP's in tubs have one and they "turtle" it on and off the heat as needed.

    Do you have another heat source aside from a UTH? Thanks for your help! [emoji171]
