Regarding a tub, I understand it matches ambient room temperatures. I plan on keeping my room cold during the month of November. I have ferrets and I induce their winter coats to grow for show events in December.

One solution, I can always keep the snake in a different room. But I'd prefer to keep it in my own room. Is there anyway I can keep the temperatures up in a tub when the room temperature is cool? Or should I use a temporary tank for those few weeks?

Like I said, if I have to house the snake in a different room, I will. I want it to be healthy and comfortable. But some helpful input would be nice.

Thanks
Sounds like you'll be letting your room drop down in the low 60's or so? I don't know what temps have to be to induce your ferrets winter coats, but sounds like it would have to be cold to do that. I like to keep my room temps around no less than 70-75 degrees (use an oil heater to maintain the temps). I can then maintain proper temps in the Tubs without issue. I would say you may want to just keep your BP in another (warmer) room.
