    Tub questions

    Hey all,

    I was wondering if a 50qt tub was big enough for my 2.5 year old female bp. THe dimensions are 32 1/8 X 19 1/8 X 7. Also the humidity stays in the 40's. IS this an ok setup?

    I keep my full grown females in 30qt CB-70 tubs with 17.75" x 33.5" x 5.25" dimensions so your 50 quart should be fine. Humidity sounds low though. I never let mine get below 50%.

    yeah, the humidity is low because with my ambient temps anywhere from 71-77 in my room (crappy apartment thermostat) I put her in a specially built rack with heat cable taped along the sides and top of the inside of the rack to keep the ambient temps between 81-83 depending on time of day. Works quite well and when she sheds ill just mist the inside of her tub to shoot the humidity up. And im not worried about the humidity unless it drops below 40%. I'd rather have lower humidity than higher humidity
