Hi guys! New BP owner here!
I was reading everything I could on BP's before I bought one. I was determined to have any issues solved before I got a BP but I suppose no matter how much I read and prepared myself, real word experience can be different!

(I'm unsure if Snicket is a M or F, so I call refer to it as a him.)

I have my BP, named Snicket, in a plastic tub. I got a Sterlite 30 gallon 32.50 x 19.75 x 17.12.
I have 2 hides, a water dish, the thermometer, thermostat, and an UTH that's for 30-40 gallon tanks.

So far, everything has been going well. At first the humidity was way too high but we took Snicket out and put some more holes in the tub.
My humidity stays 50-65% currently. I use coconut fiber substrate. I have a fan on the tub to help with the humidity.

The only down side to that is that the fan makes the temps on the cool side, extra cool.
I didn't realize I'd have such a hard time regulating the temps. His hot side is anywhere from 80-90 degrees and the cool side got as low as 68 the other morning, which i turned the fan off and the humidity went up into the 70's.

The tub is currently on my tile floor, which I'm about to move him some where else now that it's cooler.
I guess my main thing is through reading, I've read TONS of different ideals on exactly how cool the cool side should be.
Some say not to slip into the 70's and some say that's okay as long as it's in the 70's.

I don't want anything to happen to Snicket and I'm doing my best to study and learn all I can about heating & temp control.
I'm so paranoid that I'm doing something wrong or letting his temps get too low. I'm going to put some more holes in the tub to help keep the humidity low without having to rely on the fan for the air temps.

On the bright side, he has been eating and doesn't seem to have any problems with that.

Sorry I'm all over the place with this! Anyone have anymore tips and tricks on keeping a single snake in a tub?
