The simplest way is to use newspaper, I use 2 layers of newspaper. A water bowl. I use a 4 inch heavy ceramic one. And a hides. I use one in 28/32qts. For a smaller snake in a 41, I would probably use 2 hides and fill some of the empty space with crumble newspaper. That's pretty much it.

That sentence sums up why I'm pumped to get out of a glass aquarium...:banana:

I'm looking at getting a temp gun, nothing too fancy. My rack is three feet deep and closed in besides the front, is it okay to pull each tub out all the way and immediately check temps, or will removing the tub give me an inaccurate reading?

Hi,

I pull the tubs out about half way then shoot the spot as quickly as I can. :)

It will start to cool down when it is no longer on the heat of course but you don't need to be quickdraw McGraw. :gj:

Thanks, I'll definitely do that

Before I move Wyatt in (besides setting the temps) I want to thoroughly clean the tubs and rack, it definitely has an odor. Most likely I'm going to just buy new tubs, but does anyone have a cleaning technique to eliminate odor? Can I clean the rack itself as well? Thanks guys, anxious to get it all set up but want to make sure I prepare
