I have a reptile show coming up in 2 weeks and I want to get this new tub setup.

1st question. Depending on what the vendors have ill either be getting a snake that is already feeding on small mice or a newborn. I know a 16qt is good for babys. My question is will the 16qt be to small for the slightly larger snake for a few months or should I go with something in the 20qt range and will that be ok either way i go.

2nd question. Being that the room I will keep the snake in is 75-76 constant. IF i felt the need for the cool side to be around 80...would two UTH's work. One for the warmside at 92 and one on the cool side turned down to 80? I know it wont bring up my ambient A HUGE AMOUNT but i think it will work if need just wanted your thoughts.

Thanks
