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

[Vypyrz]

Well I put 5 holes in each side (wanted to start low), put in the water bowl, and put down newspaper and the numbers were ok....humidity was in the 53ish range (I'd give 'em now but the water dish spilled and it's all off....gonna go to Wal-Mart in a bit and get something more sturdy), but my worry now is if just those 5 holes is enough for a 30qt tub.....dunno how you put so many holes in and kept the humidity. This is really coming down to crunch time as I'm planning on going to the Tampa expo on Saturday and picking up something and want to make sure it's all setup when I get home. I'm still pretty new to all this (especially tubs) and still get really nervous about having the setup right so help is extremely appreciated.

Oh, I tried the bungee cord thing and there was no way I could get them on & off without a massive disturbance in the tub so I'm just gonna put something heavy on top until I can find some kinda strap thing that I can loosen & tighten when takin the top on/off without scaring the hell outta the snake & upsetting the whole cage....any ideas?

Did you have the UTH on while you were checking it?
I keep my humidity up by using larger UTH's that cover about 1/2 of my tubs floor space. This allows me to place the water bowls over the UTH so it evaporates faster.

When you go to Wal-Mart, check in the luggage aisle and see if they have any luggage straps. I like them better than bungee cords because they are flat, and adjustable. They don't have to be super tight. Just tight enough to keep the lid from raising.
