I use the next size up ( 12.7 qt ) but the smaller size would be okay, just not as much room for aspen, etc. The only problem I found with these tubs is tiny little pyros can actually squeeze out of them along the lid edge, so I took to tying them with a piece of clothesline rope so the little devils couldn't lift the lid.

I use the little Zoomed 4 watt UTH's controlled by a thermostat. This set up is fine for just a few babies but a rack system is in the works for this season:

And another pyro and three pituophis yet to lay!
