Switching from glass to tub

[k1ingdomKaa]

its 32 liters, 6 inch high. what is a perfect temp for the hot spot?
I have about 91.0 right now.

as for the other side, i have my heat pad under it and its about 84 and rising slowly, hopefully it stops at like 85
humidity is 32%

Here's my thoughts on your thoughts, Josh.

Cavemen invented a frickin wheel a long time ago. so why re-invent it?

I take the advice from experienced professionals who have a successful history, and I follow it.

Continue on with your "experiments". we'll have instructions for your wheel when you need it

hey josh was right in some ways, He says that its okay to have a bigg tank, leave him alone, after all hes the one that has helped me the most and also cares. he pmed me telling me that he was worried or w.e

OK - I'm going to bump this.

I was at Target today, and I took a look at the Rubbermaid 66 quart tubs (I think those are probably the ones that Josh is using).

I will concede that the floor space is much smaller than I imagined it to be. And while the floor space is a little bigger than I would prefer for a baby, I will agree that it's probably workable if you can succesfully achieve and maintain proper heat and humidity.

The bulk of the size is taken up in height, rather than floor space.

Thanks Robin for finally seeing my side of things... I wouldnt reccommend the 60-66qt if they didnt work. The only reason I use them is bc I offer them something to climb on which takes up more floor space and respectivly more height. If I wasnt offering them something to climb on I wouldnt go with a 60-66qt either...

Nate on your wheel comment... Its called innovation... Just becuase it was invented years ago doesnt mean it cant be improved.

i have a 32 L so im good 6 inches high, and 60 humidity.

[rabernet]

Josh, I think as long as we agree to disagree on some things respectfully, it will be all good.

Yes, for someone who wishes to offer climbing branches, then I can see this working.

Tell you what, I'll continue to recommend my way, and not insist it's "better". Can you agree to the same?

[JoshJP7]

Sounds like a great compromise to me!... I guess for me to use the word "better" I need to see some evidence that in some aspect your snakes are "better" than mine... I guess im just picky when it comes to my english... Hopefully we can put all this bickering behind us and move forward... I hate being viewed as the jerk bc honestly when you get to know me... thats not me.

[k1ingdomKaa]

from how i know josh, hes not a jerk hes opinionated.

if you decide to drill your holes, be careful not to crack the plastic. If you apply too much pressure when drilling, it may crack. Let the drill do the work and be patient on each hole, it will save you a few trips to Target

As far as the enclosure size, I think both parties are correct in a way. If you want to use a large enclosure, clutter it with hides, fake plants, rocks, etc.....make it busy.

When I handle my snakes and place them on the carpet, the first thing they do is head for a covered area....they rarely sit out in the open. This is proof enough to me that they don't feel secure in the open

hth and good luck
