hello all,
I am planning on getting my first BP at the Atlanta repticon show in April and am setting up a quarantine tub. I do not separately heat the area the tub will be in so I was planning on using 2 UTHs (ultratherm 6" x 11"), each connected to a thermostat / probe, to maintain temps in the tub (going for a hotspot of 90 and a cool side temp of 80). I am planning on using a short tub (6-7") so thought 2 UTHs would work better than a UTH / CHE combo like I have on my taller boa tub.
My question for you guys, is what size tub should I get to accommodate both of these UTHs safely (i.e. should I pick a tub that has a lot or a little space in the middle of it between both UTH's) and which size tub would you recommend in general for a (probably young) BP? If you have a specific tub / brand recommendation that would be great. I'd like to get something that will work for several months and "clutter it up" if needed while the snake is smaller.
Thanks for your help!
