I bought a tub (41qt).

I was thinking about the idea at Walmart, and decided to pick one up. Currently I use a 20L tank which isn't too bad, but you have to fight to maintain temps/humidity. I like how it looks, but with the amount of care and insulation required, it detracts from the look.

I figured I would try the tub once I get home from Maryland. I also want to switch from using Repti Bark to unprinted newspaper, which I will see if a local newspaper will give me some. I currently have three thermometers too, so maybe with an Accurite it will be easier. For those of you that use them, do you have the unit's internal probe temp as the cool hide temp, ambient temp, or both?

One last question: How can I secure the lid so there won't be escapes? Would those black butterfly paper clips work?

I hope this works out in the end. It will require a little more money invested, but I think it will save me in the end.

Any other tips are greatly appreciated, but I don't wanna hear any "I told you so's" about switching to tubs haha.
