I'm looking into switching to tubs, I get the vibe my girl might really like one a lot more than her tank (privacy issue). She is 4 years old about 33 inches long and thick. I am not sure of her exact weight.

few questions about tubs:

What size tub would be best for her size and age (what dimensions should it be)?


does plastic heat up faster than glass? should i bump my heating pad a size down? (its a zilla pad designed for 30-40 gal tanks)

Where are some places i can get tubs that work well for bps? ( I would really prefer going to a local store rather than ordering one online)

Are there another do's don'ts that I should or shouldn't do with the tub that I would do with an aquarium?

Is there a preferred substrate for a tub?

thanks in advance
