I decided to use a tub for the first time for my new baby boa. I bought a rubbermaid tub. I have a heat pad with a thermostat set on 90. The accurite is reading 87 on the hot side and 78 on the cool side the humidity is 64%. The thing I am wondering about is the smell. I noticed that when I open the lid the plastic smell is pretty noticable is this normal. I have my ball in a neodesha and I dont get a smell like this with that cage.. There is also two plastic hides from reptile basic and a plastic water dish. Like I said this is the first time for me using a tub and just want to make sure this is a normal occurrence .
I have checked the heat pad and there is not melting or anything like that going on
Thanks
