Reptile Tub for Blood Python?
So, I'm no novice to reptile keeping, though I'm starting back with them after a long hiatus.
I'm pretty convinced my mother is, however, getting me a juvenile blood python, 2 - 3ft in length. I'm novice to reptile tubs, as all I used to utilize were glass tanks. I've found them to be unbearably clunky, heavy, and hard to keep with due to size, weight, substrate, etc.
I've built a tub for temporary holding until Christmas, but my real question is, would this tub be suitable for long term holding until it's time to buy a large tub and make adjustments?
Wanna say it's a 50 gallon tub. Ambient temp of 80 - 85F. Hot spot of 90F. It's bare for the moment but I intend to place a dark hide on each side and water in the middle. Paper towels or newspaper for substrate, humidity of 70%.
Will this, one, be acceptable temps and humidity for a Blood, and, two, could ut be used for long term until an upgrade in size is needed for a juvie Blood?
I would post pics if it would let me.
