Does my tub look ok?

Forget it. This is too short notice. I need to plan it out more next time.
I found a good Craigslist deal today (finally!) on a tank. Max and I are going to pick it up now.
Thanks guys, I'll prepare better next time. For now it's tanks, and my mom will be happy too. :)

I could pick that up today. Have been looking at it for a while....

I called one of my friends, who is the manager of one of my local pet shops, and asked him about the Repti-Temp Rheostats. He said they retail for about $28.00. If you are going to spend that much on a rheostat, I would suggest looking at the Repti-temp 500r or the Hydrofarm thermostats. They are roughly the same price, maybe $5-$6 more. I'll see if I can find some links for you...

Here are links where you can get either one of the above listed thermostats for under $25. Hope this helps...

Thank you so much everyone. :) We ended up going to the pet store and found a nice used 29 gallon tank for 40$. So Madison is chilling in there and she looks pretty happy. :)
I'll post pics later today or tomorrow. It looks really nice in there! And I feel more confident in my tank husbandry than tub husbandry. :) :gj:

Looks good, I did something like that for my leoshttp://184.72.239.143/mu/6c7dec91-e5dc-f6e6.jpg

Hey there.. I suggest looking on ebay first for thermostats, then comparing ebay's prices against amazon.com's prices for thermostats... That's where I found mine and with shipping and handling it cost me $21.. Definitely stay away from the rheostat.. And craigslist can totally be your best friend.. Plus, run to walmart or kmart or meijer and pick up a rubbermaid tub, they don't cost more than $10 but are extremely practical (just drill in some air holes in the sides).. Best of luck hun!! :)

I actually found it 3 times easier in a tub than tank! Hated my exoterra glass tank!
