What size enclosure do you guys like for ATBs?
If you guys were picking up an ATB from someone who isn't able to take care of it any more thats about 2 feet long, what would you guys choose to house her in? Obviously I know she needs branches, humidity, etc, but ive seen conflicting stories on them needing arboreal style enclosures, some say a tall enough terrestrial style enclosure is sufficient, and I dont have a dog in the fight so I don't know. So, I figured I'd ask you experts over here.

Either way, she'll need something temporary for a couple weeks if I'm able to get this particular atb. Do you guys prefer just Sterilite tubs for a temp setup over an aquarium? Is a uth going to be able to provide the proper warmth for this until my rhp comes in?
I have an adult male ETB in this tub for quarantine: http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProdu...=305§ion=0
4x2x2 is pretty unnecessary tbh. But if you don't have a big collection and aren't trying to be space efficient, it wouldn't be too big or anything.

A UTH on the side/top wouldn't really do much because the heat transfers upwards. You'd be better off with a RHP.
