You don't need to remove the paper that reveals the sticky side. It is actually suggested by herpers that you don't so you can move it whenever needed. Also, Flexwatt does not require anything to work. But to work safely, it is best to go with a thermostat, not a rheostat. All a rheostat is, is a dimmer.

I think I might just use the one I showed before for shoes, and get the recommended one ...

How about get a regular sterilite tunb like shown before. It is much safer.

Yep. I will do.

Last night I ordered:
- 3" flexwatt tape
- Digital Thermometer
- Zoo Med Rheostat 150 Watts

More questions:
1) What Sterilite tub do you recommend for a 2 month old bp???
2) Should I wait for his first feed (next monday, since I got him last monday) before reintroducing him to his new habitat??? Right now, with the big aquarium that they recommended me it is quite impossible to keep good humidity and stable temperature ... so I am not sure if he will feed at all.

Thank you all sooooo much, this forum rules :)

My baby ball pythons are all in 16quart tubs. They each have two hides and a water crock. works great

I use a 6qt. sterilite for my littler guys(5 months old). It is the 1752 model. You can't fit two hides in there with a water bowl though. A couple of people have said in the smaller tubs they use either 1 hide, or no hides, just a water bowl and substrate.

My brother was suckered into buying the store recommended setup, so I know how that sucks!

Exactly what I think!!!

I stole this from another thread. It's set up the same way my 6 quarts are.
