Hey everyone, First post! YAY!!
I’ve been reading threw the forum for about a week and a half now and its answered almost all my questions I had about bp's. I’ve never owned a snake before but about two weeks ago I started looking into it and after
finding this forum I’m pretty sure I’m hooked on getting a bp. I’ve been
looking at different tub set-ups and I’m sure that’s the way I’m going to
go.

I have a few questions though. I live in central Illinois and during
the winter it usually can get around to around 60*F in my apartment
when I’m off at class or working and I was wondering if that will be a
big prob keeping temps up? I'm going to 4" flexwatt (I saw somewhere to
put it roughly 1/3 covering the bottom?) with a thermostat. Im still not sure on the size of the tub.. I am wanting to try to find a young pastel
but not sure of the size of tub (28...32qt?) I was looking at the
Sterilite 1886, but it seems soo small lol.
Another prob. I’m hoping I won’t have is keeping the humidity up..

One other question I have is how long is it safe to keep a bp out of
it’s tub? I’ve read threw a few threads
on here talking about how much to hold one and it seems like there is
way to big of difference between peoples opinions. Some were saying 10min. every few days and some said 30+min daily.

Sorry for all of the questions at once lol. This forum has been such a
big help!


Thanks,
Mike~
