I'm am so tired of fluctuating temps!!!
Alright, i have finally decided to get a rubbermaid because the temps in my 20 gal. just keep fluctuating even with a thermostat. It is a Ranco so it turns on and off. And I also cant get the cool side to stay at the right temps. Ok, now for my questions, I think a sterilite 1956 tub would be perfect for her right now beacuse my bp is only a bit longer than 2 ft. And once she outgrew it I could use it for my corn, because she would be big enough by then. http://www.sterilite.com/Category.ht...uctCategory=39#
Or do you guys think I should just invest in the 1960 that will last her forever and just add extra stuff to make her feel secure enough? Also, if I did get the 1960, how much flexwatt would I need? I already have 1 ft. Thanks everybody!
If you need to know anything else just ask!

Might sound like a little much but I would just get a thermostat. $70 and you can keep multiple cages in a rack system at the right temps as long as their the same size. Just a thought

Re: I'm am so tired of fluctuating temps!!!
I already have a thermostat, a Ranco, but because it is an on/off t-stat, the temps fluctuate at about 5 degrees. The hot side goes from 88-93, cool side is either too hot or too cold. That is why I want a tub. And I dont have enough money to get a proportional t-stat.

Re: I'm am so tired of fluctuating temps!!!
the ranco will do fine. probe placement is critical. either tub will do fine, i'm partial to smaller tubs for smaller snakes. the tubs don't cost much to upgrade sizes. 1 ft. of 11" heat tape should heat either tub. then you have to experiment with how many holes to get the humidity right.

Re: I'm am so tired of fluctuating temps!!!
I'm using the 40 quart 1986 model. I like it because it has snapping locks. Although 1984 might be better for smaller snakes, even though it is a bit tall:

I have my 200+ gram females in there and even a 1600 gram female in one.
The smaller girls have 3 hides, the large girl has a small kitty litter pan that is big enough that she sort of thermoregulates herself inside of it, yet still feels secure because it's so dark in there.
I'm using a Ranco thermostat and 1 foot of 11" flexwatt for each tub.

I can vouch for the 1986 models too, they work great and have just enough room for a few hides and a water bowl. I have a 550g female in one and a 1250g female in one. Both are quite happy and eat to their heart's content.
