Re: 14 inch long bp tub questions asap
A 16qt tub will probably be good.
Although putting the snake in a tub won't necessarily bring up the ambient temperature. It insulates a little bit better but you will still probably have problems getting the temps up.
At this point it might be worthwhile to think about adding a second UTH to your thermostat or getting a small space heater. 60* is very very cold for a ball python. It is not recommended to let the temps fall below 75*.

Re: 14 inch long bp tub questions asap
What would be the possibilty of getting a good surge protector which will have 6-8 extra outlets and just moving the tank? Also, depending on the size of your UTH, you may need to get one that covers closer to half of the floor space. If you do decide to go with a tub, I would recommend using 2 hides since it will be a stand alone tub...

The best way to measure the legnth of your snake is with this computer program. I will have to do some research to see if I can find it, but it is real easy to use. I don't remember if it was this website or another so I will have to dig around for it...
