So I'm getting a baby bp in the next week. I have a little 6qt set up. I know it can't stay in there for too long, but I can't move it up into a 15qt because I can't heat my room enough. I ordered a AP T8 with a 80 watt Pro-Heat panel, thinking I was going to get an adult. Is an AP T8 too overkill once the little bp gets too big? (Side question: when is too big for a 6 qt tub?

Main Points:

Is a T8 too big for a young bp?
Any cheap ways to divide a T8 (I have no money left )?

Would an 80 watt rhp be too much to make an effective heat gradient for half a T8?

Thanks, just trying to solve these problems before I get my bp.
