Ways to raise ambient temps in a tub?

[Luvyna]

why be embarrassed?!??! never be embarrassed or too shy to ask questions, friend! babies r so cute!

a smaller enclosure (tub) means less you need to control; a smaller tub will be much easier to heat and regulate. you might still need supplemental heating, but a low watt (regulated) CHE on a proper stand would be perfect.

Thank you Taylor! Baby BPs really are adorable

That makes sense, I'll get a smaller tub set up this weekend. How do I safely install a CHE to a tub? I don't want the snake to be able to reach up and accidentally touch it or risk melting the plastic. Also would this cause any problems with humidity?

You can also surround three sides of the tub with rigid insulation (Home Depot or Lowes) or foam board (craft store) just like you would a tank. That can help trap the heat in the tub as well.

Thanks for the tip! This sounds like it could be a good solution. So I'm assuming then I would poke holes through the insulation over the current holes on the tub to keep the ventilation?
