Vypyrz Tub Set-Up, The Basics...*DUW*

Okay thanks. I have my probe on the inside right now and it's taped down with foil tape, I heard that tape was bad as well. I only have a dimmer to lower the temp of the pad so it never shuts off its always the same. Maybe I should just switch back to the glass tank?

Ah ok! We are talking about two different probes. You are talking about the Thermometer probe. Yes, it goes on the inside of the enclosure, under the substrate, above the heat pad. I was talking about the Thermostat probe, which would go on the outside between the enclosure and heat pad...

Oh okay! Thanks for clarifying that.

What size tubs would you recommend for average size BP's? This is a clean set up. You mentioned getting a PVC cage, is this because tubs are not a permanent solution? I like the tubs but only want to switch if it's a lasting solution. I have wood enclosure and it's too difficult to regulate temp and humidity.

You can use tubs as a permanent solution as long as it meets your snakes requirements. My BP does just fine in his tub, however, most of my boas are outgrowing their tubs and need the space of the larger pvc enclosures.
