Gtp/Etb housing

[bman123]

I have been reading alot and reading some more. Seems like everyone is using a tub to house the babies in. Is it possible to use a tank? I have heard of a big breeder using tanks but I cannot find info on using a tank.

I know humidity would be a problem but what if I used a fogger system? Also how would you go about heating in a tank? You cant use a uth and I have no experience with RHP units.

I am trying to learn as much as possible. It will be at least 6 months before I get the snake. I want to buy everything and have it all set up for about a month before I get the animal.

I want to use a tank as a tub wont make a good display unit at all and a single tub will look stupid sitting on a stand lol. Please help out.
I figure a 10 gallon tank would be fine size wise at first and I have no problem with buying a bigger tank when needed. I just dont know how to heat or get humidity where it needs to be.

I have seen the terrarium units with the screen top and swing open doors. They arent expensive but I still need to get temps and humidity all good.

I had mine in a 29 high and used 1/8 inch glass to regulate the humidity in the tank...of course the tank was in a room where the ambient temp was at 78 degrees....

The room temp is 76-78 degrees year round. I know the room temp is good. I need to get the humidity and hot spot right tho. If I use a tank I am sure I will get tagged sooner or later having to reach my hand all the way down and spot clean.

I dont know how to set up a RHP, I dont know if I can use a basking bulb on top to provide the hot spot either. The problem is I see so many different things online that its hard to tell what I should actually do.

The problem with a bulb is at night the temps will drop at the hot spot unless I use a timer. I have no problem using a dimmer with a timer but the light cycle will be all screwey ya know.

Wow 1 phone call solved everything. I just got off the phone with Rico and its all good. I totally over estimated how hard it is to house these animals. Thanks for the help tho.
