Hi,
I just wanted to share my set up. I started with a 10 gallon aquarium but he always seemed stressed in it so I researched and ever since switching to a plastic container he has really be alot better off. I only have to mist 1 time a month and the humidity stays 55-60% unless I want to increase it, and hols the temps really well. I honestly never have to fuss with it.
1 x 41 qt Plastic Rubbermaid Bin ($12 at target)
I used a sodering iron to makes the holes ($10 at walmart)
1 accurite digital thermometer ($15 at walmart)
Aspen Bedding from PetCo
Half log hide is half over the UTH and half not, plant is on the cool side
Left cave hide is cool side right is warm side (4 dollars each from petmountain.com)
water dish
With these long plastic tubs the locks are on the far sides so there is nothing to stop your snake from pushing up in the middle so I use butterfly clips there to hold it down. I dont think he would be able to escape but probably get his head stuck and hurt or killed if it wasnt clipped down.
I have a UTh under there but I will be buying a better, larger one soon.
and I am currently using a hydrofarm digital thermostat from amazon. They are cheap but it has been working great for me. keep its withing 2 degrees + or - has been working great if money is an issue.
