I believe it will be better for me and my snake to just switch to a tub, he is probably around 16-18 inches long, would I be able to just purchase a storage tub from wal-mart and make holes for ventilation? and If I were to do so, do you know about what size I would want to use? and when using a tub I do believe that using an UTH is efficient heating correct? Also is there any specific brand of you guys use? Preferably that I can get from a common store
