    2 month setup- 1 snake

    Hey all. I'm planning on getting a new babe, and it'll be away from home. However, I want to have a place setup properly first. So, what setup would be best for a 300gram girl?
    I'm looking at sterilite tubs, either http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-cl...t/-/A-13794491 or http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-cl...dh1|13794492|4 (15 or 32 qt best for 300g?)
    Flexwatt stuff- https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Watt-Hea...PS39GB42Y6RDBT
    Now I've heard mixed feelings about Acurite... I'm not even sure which model number is better than what. https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-00891.../dp/B001BO8CUE this is one of the few I can find with a probe, but maybe I'm looking wrong. But, how will I regulate the temperature if it's too low or high, this won't change it, will it?

    Paper towels, a water bowl, f/t rats I'm good on. Just need some guidance with the more technical type stuff.

    You can certainly start with a 15-qt tub but even larger ones are ok as long as they are well cluttered so your snake has somewhere to hide. Make sure you get the latch box style with the handles that hold the lid down securely so your snake can't push up the top and escape.

    The thermometer/hygrometer won't regulate the heat tape, you need a thermostat for that. Something like this:

    Would that be the best for it, that brand? Nothing from home depot or something else better? The reviews on it kinda scare me. Reading 90, temp gun says 120? No thanks.

    Also, in big rack systems, how do you guys do it- each animal has its own tools (temp, hydro, thermo)?? Seems better if one thermo ran for 5, 10, however many animals instead.

    i like to recommend this ziploc weathershield storage box, i like how it has a foam seal around the lid and it has multiple latch's holds humidity too well actually.so make multiple holes
