This is just a trial tub. I am just trying things out on this one and i'll see how it maintains conditions for a couple days(without any animals inside it). If it works out good I'll be using another tub that has an actual latching/closing system so a snake can't escape. It's the same size. Then I'll just use the tub below for something to put my smaller snakes in when I am cleaning out their enclosures.
15 qt tub with small UTH left side. 2 hides, 1 water bowl, 2 therm/hydrometers for ambient warm and cool sides. Infrared heat gun to measure surface temps. Drilled holes for ventilation.
Probe sitting beneath warm hide, covered by a very thing layer of substrate.
Equipment to monitor/control conditions inside enclosure. Thermostat is set at 91 so it's still warming up.
Do I need anything more? less?
EDIT: actually I need help on one thing. With the probe set up like that, it could be moved by the snake. How can I have it permanently fixated in that spot? If I were to use zipties, or wire rope to tie it down to something, what do I tie it down to?
