    Dark tub to clear tub.

    I bought a few clear cb70 bins but the one in use now with snakes in them are the ones you can't seen in. So maybe they are used to it being totally dark but want to switch to the new bins. Will they be bothered now that there will be more light?

    It will probably take a few days for them to adjust, just make sure they have hides to sleep in. The clearer tubs will probably be better for them because they will have a day/night cycle from the ambient light...

    Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking. Also I'm using cocofiber but want to switch yo paper towel, just because the fiber is soo messy! I think paper towel would be alot easier to clean and not make a mess like the cocofiber!

    If I put my thermometer probe(not tstat) under the towel on the inside bottom and get it to 90 ontop of the towel, it's will be hotter under won't it?

    you have to tinker with it to get what you want. If under paper towel is 90 turn t-stat 1F higher and should get a 90 on top. Or only use one layer of paper towel

    Sounds good. I'm using the zilla 1000 and running 2 tubs off it.
