How long is your tub?

What are you using to measure the temps and humidity? Do you have any photos?

Follow what infernalis says! He's the local "guru" on Savannahs.

pics are worth a thousand words. It will let us see how far along you are on knowledge. Big difference between reading something vs applying something so get pics up. Plastic tubs work well when monitors are small so a pic of the tub in question with monitor easily visiable would help us judge animal size to cage size.

pics and we can help. the tubs are effective with neonates but thats it. large wood enclosures are the standard with monitors.
