My lemon pastel female just developed RI, taking her to the vet Friday.. I know it's because of my husbandry. I'm considering just switching her to a tub. It's hard to manage her environment (20 gallon tank) in the way my apartment is set up and I think it'd just be much easier putting her into a tub, I think she'd be more comfortable as well. I know it's not exactly eye candy for me as she's very beautiful and I love seeing her out and about, but I want her to be healthy and happy.

I have a few questions:

1.) How do you heat a plastic tub? Just a single plastic tub that's not in a rack system without melting the plastic?
2.) What setup do you use in a single tub? (hides, substrate, water dish, thermostats, etc)
3.) Where should I keep the tub?
4.) What should I do with the lid? (Location of vent holes, etc)
5.) Is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks so much! I hope you all can help me with her road to recovery!
