I just went out and got some stuff, as this is my first snake. I picked up a sterilite container with a locking top that measures 26 inches long and 18 inches deep, and a zoo med 10-20 gallon UTH, but I am unsure if the UTH will get hot enough for my tub, just wanted to ask what you all thought about that. I also picked up a thermostat and an accurite probed thermometer/hygrometer. Also on the UTH's directions it says to only use with glass tanks and not to use with plastic tanks, but I wanted to ask you guys if it was safe or not to be sure before I went and returned it. Sorry for all the questions I just wanted to be absolutely sure everything was correct. Posting this at 3:00am because I am too darned excited to sleep, and I don't even have him yet lol.
