Hi people.

Im picking up my new Bumble bee in two weeks today.

I've got a black tub (12" x 18") for him coz i would assume this would make him feel more secure until I upsize his tub when he gets bigger. The plastic is black but its still see through.

I've got a heat matt and stat already. I was going to put holes in the top of the tub and i've got a dessk lamp and i was gonna get a red low watt bulb to sit on top of the tank. This im hoping will give some more light and raise air temps accross the tub. The bulb will sit approx 12" from the plastic so it wont be melting anything.

Do you think the black tub is wise or would letting more light in using clear plastic for a higher contrast of day/night be better?
