    AP Cages are expensive. If you're set with just one snake for now, do the tubs and then buy your cage later. Also, unless you buy Quick Ship stuff, you're probably not going to see your order to at least 90-120 days at this point.

    I can't say I agree on the 40-50% ambient... especially not if you're using tubs, getting down to 40% means that you put too many ventilation holes...

    Humidity should be 50-60% minimum normally and pushed up to 60-70% during shed.

    Tubs until your snake is large enough for an AP cage or similar PVC cage is definitely a good way to go. They're much less expensive, although be aware your ambient temps will be pretty close to your household temps unless you have a 2nd heat source aside from a UTH of some sort. So if you have a cold house over winter, you may need a CHE and 2nd thermostat for winter.
