Start with a few on each end of the tub. Put the warm side holes higher up the tub than the cool side holes and have a few more holes on the warm end than the cool end. Set everything up before you get the snake. Once you have some readings it will be pretty obvious what you need to do next.
Thank you very much for the info! For now, I'll just get the one UTH.

I have my smaller ones sitting on 3 inch heat tape and my rooms ambient is 80 degrees so you might want to try using a 4 inch wide piece to make up for the cooler room.
My tubs hot spot is 92 normally, and the ambient sits about 80 cool end and 85-86 warm end.

Congrats on winning a lil spider girl
I'm currently using some 15 qt. and 34 qt. tubs for my Colubrids. (Corns and a Black Milk) I love the security that these provide, so I figured I'd stick with them until I go to racks.

I hadn't thought about heat tape. I'm not 100% sure that I'll be getting more (who am I kidding? LOL) but if I get a few more BPs, I'll definitely get a rack and use heat tape.

Thank you very much for the information and the congrats.
