    Some husbandry questions.... (Mainly to do with temps)

    So if/when I get a baby ball python(trying not to get too hopefull) I plan on keeping him in a plastic 15q tub. And I have a few questions.
    1) Is a wider and shallower 15q tub better than a deeper and not as wide 15q tub?
    2) http://www.reptilebasics.com/ve-100 is this a good thermostat? I'm looking for a proportional one, and if this isn't a proportional one, what is a good(fairly inexpensive) one?
    3) What size and brand heat mat is best for that sized tub?
    4)Is it easy to get a temperature gradient in a tub so small? If not, the ambient temp should be
    85*f right?(If not please correct me!)
    I think that's everything I wasn't sure of...
