How are temperature gradients accomplished for baby GTPs when they are housed in small rubbermaid or sterilite tubs? What heating sources are best?

Most folks use rack systems with heat provided in the back or below the tub. If you're just using a single tub you can use one of the smaller heating pads. Be sure to run it through a thermostat to control the heat output. A good thermometer helps monitor the temps. Good luck.

Rico:
Thank you for the reply and it will be a single tub. I actually just received your "Green Tree Python Owners Manual" and it is definitely helpful.
Do you think the tub with perches and a water bowl that is heated by a UTH is the best overall setup for a baby GTP or would a small very natural display cage be as good if cover is provided on the perches?
Thanks!
