Re: Cool side still isn't warm enough...
That is the standard size used by most people for adult ball pythons. Any tub close to those dimensions should be sufficient. Just make sure all sides of the lid are secure at all times. DON'T USE DUCT TAPE. Many people have tried using duct tape to keep the sides of the lids closed and the snakes have managed to attempt getting out. Resulting in either get stuck up in the tape or get stuck half way out the lid and the tight fit ends up doing damage to their body.

You can use the lid that comes with it if. You will want to drill or melt some holes in with a soldering gun. If you drill, make sure to sand down the rough edges. There is no perfect amount to put in it, it is all testing and seeing what works.

can the snake breathe with the lid on and no holes in the tub??
Re: Cool side still isn't warm enough...
You'll want to put a few holes in the tub itself for ventilation. Maybe 8-10 on each side.

A 55 gallon is way overkill for a BP that size and could be overkill for most BP. Yes, that would be a tad big so save that for the 55 gallon in case you want to throw some lizards in it and just get some flexwatt. It is much cheaper than any heatmats that you will find at the store.
