I finished building my BP cage out of a Rubbermaid tub, it is a 10 gallon size. Its been about 4 hours now, the thermostat is set to 90 degrees (for the heating pad), but the cool side still seems to be too cold (73 degrees). I planned on purchasing my snake tomorrow but I want to ensure I don't need to purchase a different heating pad first... if anyone knows how long heating pads/tub enclosures take to reach these temps I'd appreciate the help.
