OR get any other thermostat that fits your budget. Ranco, Johnson, BAH Herp Power, etc. Dont think that a herpstat is the only way to go with thermostats. That sort of info makes people not buy them sometimes. If you tell someone that their only option is a 110 dollar herpstat and its not in their budget, guess what? That snake isnt getting a thermostat anytime soon.
Vesta:
Tubs are going to be cheaper to keep, but if a tank is your preferred method then go with that. BPs arent really display animals so a lot of us keep them in tubs as that is the easier and cheaper way to do it. If you prefer to have a nice display, by all means do that. There are a lot of threads on here that deal with proper tank set up, and once you have it set up properly, it is just as easy to maintain as a tub...with the exception of cleaning.
