Put the heat mat under about half or a third of the tub, I put the probe between mat aand the tub and yes about 30-32. Depending on the humidity as to where you put the water dish if you need more put it in the hot end, less put it in cold end hope this helps..... Great choice

i put two hides one in the hot and one in the cold then they can decide which one they want. if you only put one then put it in the hot end

I would set it up for a trial before putting in your Bredl to make sure your plastic tank holds heat well enough.
Should offer a hide in both the warm & cool end. I personally always have the water bowl in the cool end (i dont like drinking warm water, so i figure neither do my snakes), if more humidity is needed, go for a larger water bowl.

An escape proof fish tank!? I thought they didn't exist. 
I'd be going with a click clack until it got a bit bigger personally..

thanks, il set the tank up atleast 2 weeks before i get the snake and il use 3 or 4 thermometers that have a temp history in them, if it doesnt hold heat il break up some styrofoam boxes and tape it to the outside to stop alot of heat escaping, people keep saying if the humidity is to high or low move the waterbowl or get a bigger one , but how do i know if the humidity is to high/low? what should the humidity be

This is my Bredlis home. She is a few months old. The tub is about 28cm high. Heat mat under one end, water at opposite end, hide at warm end. She seems quite happy in here. Out on her branch when it gets dark. Holes drilled in lid and around the sides.
Good choice of snake.

I wouldnt stress to much about humidity at first. Best indicator is the snakes shed, if it comes off neatly in one piece then all is fine.
