I have my Boa in a 40qt bin using a UTH set at 90 and a second for the cool side at 80 and see ambient temps at about 80. Tubs really maintain humidity well but heat is tricky at least for me. I have to keep the room temp at 75 minimum.
I am looking into ways to insulate the tub and keeping a minimal layer of substrate helps also. Sterility or Rubbermaid are popular and there is a sticky going over tub set up that is worth looking at.
I just put a space heater in my room to bring up tempatures seeing as my room is 71 to 72f so my temp gun reads at the wall i love this tank butnim starting to think it might be more of a pain in the ass then its worth i onlynpaid 150 for the tank it self so i dont really want to re sell it but at this point im kind of loss and i got a 17x11 exo terra large heating pad on the buttom so about 11 in in length ojt of 54 is covered so its just where his or her hide is that is pretty much heated and a little bigger area at the sides of hide
