Also a 33 Long is the recommended size so there shouldn't be an issue there.

My buddy had his in a 75 gallon and had a 20L to feed him in. I told him to put the BP in the 20L and get him something to put into the 75...he went out a few days later and got a nice JCP.

I'd personally LOVE to know how you buy all that with $100...

And I personally LOVE to know who is stupid enough to spend $100 on a used 55g

I easily bought it all with $100. The tubs were only like $4 or 5 at walmart, the rest I got at petsmart and Emerald Bay. I have put my 40 gallon breeder online and had someone asking about it within a few days.

2 water bowls= walmart ramkins 88cents a piece
2 uth = 2 pieces of flexawatt 3"x 1' roughtly 22$
4 hides= cheap plastic food containers they are usually like 2-3$ for 6

Tubs were a little cheaper but I also bought aluminum foil ($1) and aluminum tape ($6)

Yeah, I already have those, so I didn't think of them. I get iris tubs with the locking tops because I don't have a rack and need some security. Thus Why they are a bit more pricey, but it all evens out!

I just used rubbermaids with locking tops.

I don't know if the rubbermaids have this, but iris tubs have this lip on the edges of the tub and the top to make it basically impossible for the snake to push its way out.

haven't seen an iris tub to be able to tell you. I know that mine have clips that slide inward/outward to attach/release the top. I know mine can't get out of them.

I don't see a thermostat any place in your figgures. I know you can use a dimmer but where is your heat gun or thermostat? How are you judging humidity? What are you using for substrate?

When I first got into balls I did get a 55g tank (that is why I asked). I had it split in half and had one ball on each side, but when I found how much better they ate in tubs I never went back. I also admit I went and spent the money on 2 johnsons. I now also have a herpstat and am fighting the urge to get a herpstat pro......OH I SO want one of those
