Hello everyone! I'm a first-time snake owner so I apologize for all the questions.

I'm looking to move my ball python out of his glass aquarium but I'm a little unsure as to what to go with, so I was hoping you all could help! I was looking at the Animal Plastics t8 or just a normal 41q tub. What are your experiences with both? which do you like better? Obviously setting up a tub would be cheaper and it'd be great to save some money, but if a t8 holds heat and humidity better, then obviously I'd go for that.

Also, I have some questions about the t8:

The AP website sells flexwatt tape as an accessory for $35, but I've seen 11" flexwatt go for $3-7 a foot, so whats the difference?

Also, if I were to buy the divider and house my ball in one half of the tank, would it be enough space for him to live comfortably into adulthood, or should I just give him the whole tank?

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!
