Couple of ideas re WalMart. Make sure the tubs have very good locking clips then back that up with something else to make sure they can't pop the lid at any point. Even a big snake can smoosh down and slither out.

You might want to grab a soldering wand if you don't have one for melting vent holes. I got mine at WalMart for about $8.00.

For monitoring heat/humidity you can grab an Accu-Rite at Walmart. Here's a picture of one. Around $12.00 plus you need AAA batteries and you can get it to monitor two heats and overall humidity.



Just a couple of other pics to give you visual concepts. Not saying what we do is perfect but just to let you see.

This is an adult female bp, Saoirse, in a hide. It's actually a heavy black rubber dog dish flipped over with an entry whole cut into it.



This is our largest female Brannagh in her tub with the two hides and her water dish. The Acu-Rite was out as I was just cleaning and hadn't popped it back in. At that time she was around 1,800 grams or more.



If you want to go for a deeper tub do so...just be aware it takes a bit more managing as far as ambient heat/humidity but it's doable if you'd like to go that way.
