Thermostats is not optional!!!

Tubs heat very quickly (thin plastic is a very poor insulator) this is good in same ways and bad in others. It heat quickly using less power. It cools quickly too. The hot spot is easy in a single set up the cool and ambient air temps are not. Typically they take on the temp from the room. Ideally that is 80ºF this makes a single tub inefficient. It can be done and can be balanced but if you are seriously looking at a single snake I would suggest it is cheaper and better for the animal in a custom enclosure like a vision animal plastics or any of the other competitors too numerous to mention. The other alternative is a glass tank side turned it behaves like an enclosure of this sort but used tanks are often cheap and available. A small amount of leg work builds the door required to solve the heat humidity loss issues of open tops.
