Housing options/suggestions?

I don't think a zoomed UTH will melt a plastic tub. It might warm it or disfigure it in some way, but 120* will not melt it.

Either way, needs to be used with a thermostat.

I have been using a reptitemp 500r with one piece of flexwatt (single setup) going on 2 years now. I see about a 1-2* temperature fluctuation.

heres a link to my tub setup...http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...stic+tub+setup

what works for one individual may not work for everyone else, so what i can suggest is take a little info from here and there and see what works best for you:gj:

Wow thanks for all the info everyone and I actually like the last tub set up the most so far. Btw SGB awesome tutorial thanks so much. Looks like some ordering will be going on today =P Now my question is I don't want to stress out my new guy. So would buying a tub that will last him his whole life be too big right now or should I be ok?

If the snake is under a year old, go with a 15qt tub. Then you can upgrade to a 32qt tub.

These tubs are under $10 each so its not expensive to switch or anything.

My only concern would be the flexwatt size i'd be using i guess.... but again wouldn't be much to replace that either so just need to wait for the t-stat to be delivered along with the flexwatt
