Does This Sound Okay?

Alright, I'm going to get a baby normal in a couple of weeks, and I wanted to make sure this sounded okay. I'll have a plastic tub with tiles or paper towels in the bottom and will be using a UTH. There will be a warm, cool, and moist hide, a water bowl and calcium bowl. The tub I'm using is a 11.67 gal. plastic tub that is supposed to be used for storage, but I'm converting it for Leo use. I'll take pics tomarrow, first thing in the morning to give you guys a visual, but does this sound okay so far?

Sounds to me like you're pretty much good to go. I'm not familiar with UTH's with plastic tubs, but it should be fine.

I could also just buy a 10 gallon terrarium and use that.

Sounds good. What are the dimensions of the tub?

If the plastic is thick enough there shouldn't be a problem. My roaches are in a 18gallon rubbermaid bin with a UTH at about 94-95degrees F and I haven't had any problems. Just make sure theres enough ventilation and that the tub is escape proof. You can get the 10gallon but its not necessary, unless you want it for show.
