How You Doin BP Community! Tub Question.

[MegaSteve778]

Hows it goin Bp community. Recently adopted a beautiful 4 year old normal female. the person who gave her to me had her in a 55 gallon tank. Through all the care sheets and research ive done it seems like the best bet is to have her in a 41 quart Tub with locking cover. i drilled 10 holes on each long side and 6 on each short side. i have two hides one on cool side and one on side where i have a heat pad connected to a thermostat set to 90 degrees F. I use Paper towels i put down and i have a circular thermometer/hygrometer stuck on the inside. One issue having at the moment i have to mist once a day in order to keep humidity up. Just wanted some advice if there was anyone out there to help out much appreciated. Thanks much for your time. Steve From Brooklyn NY.

Thanks much. I feel bad for animals that people have to give away due to neglect or they just dont have enough time. So i do the best i can.

get a digital thermometer/hygrometer (walmart link | amazon link) instead of the analog (dial) ones. they are horribly inaccurate and it's likely giving you a false reading.

EDIT: oh! i almost forgot: WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!!

Yea that and a heat gun are in my cart right now. thank you for that link i was looking through them and was going with the exo terra one but that one seems nice and simple. much cheaper too. Much appreciated.

O ok so you just prop it up in a corner or velcro to wall? that makes things nice and easy.

i just set them inside the enclosure, wherever. no need to use velcro or anything. your snake will likely knock it down but, you know, just pick it back up. lol. also they're NOT water resistant so be sure to avoid getting them wet.

That should be fine even at 7 bucks if it poops out on me it happens. i mist just the heat pad side so ill wait til i get the digital in to see how it looks in there.
