    I personally don't think a store bought uth is gonna work flexx watt is a better bet it isn't that hard to wire it either.

    Here is a good guide to do it.

    Well, I switched to tubs after a month of a tank with my first snake. Why did I switch? I was having a tough time with temps and humidity. Cleaning it was a chore that I tried to avoid at all costs. Cleaning and heating a tub on the other hand, was a piece of cake.

    Well, I only have one snake, and I had to switch to a tub. I had to switch cuz the tank is too big for her, but it's SO much easier to clean, and takes up much less space. If you look at Vypyrz post he did on page 2, he summed up all of what you need.
