    Good man... tubs are good. Nice to let him/her acclimate. Although. And that month gives you a chance to get the temps and humidity level in your viv.

    Vivs are harder to maintain then tubs, so nice to see you taking the time to get it on track before the snake goes into it.

    If you're using a tub, then newspaper is a great bedding till you move him/her.

    Easy to clean, minimal disruption to the snake during acclimation, probably what it is being kept on by the breeder already, and it lets you monitor urination and defecation quite easily.

    Any recommendations for heat pads? I figure I'm gonna go with something small 3-5 watts. I was thinking about the t-rex cobra mini or hagen exo terra desert heater... the exo terra is $3 cheaper.

    Just to clarify this, we really don't mind you linking to products or stores as long as you use a link not one of the images on their site.

    Flexwatt heat tape from Reptile Basics will get it done for you. Make sure you get a good thermostat as well to control the temps. Good luck and welcome!
