Default Housing 15 hatchling/juvenile corns

Hope I've got this in the right section!
Just wondering what the best way to house and heat this number of young corns is e.g what size tubs to use, what thermostat and what heating method. I've been browsing racks to buy but none of them have really explained the heating method or tub size too well and it's not the kind of subject to be taken lightly.
If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it
Cheers,
Matt.

something the size of a 3l braplast tub? or lunchbox
you can either use heatstrips or heat cable under the tubs, depends which you prefer.

I use cricket tubs with an elastic band around, bottle lid for a water bowl and on a strip heat mat.

Ok cheers I'd prefer to use a heat mat to be honest, may be a stupid question but what's the best thermostat to use with them as I've never used mats to heat before.

Just a matstat would be okay, but a pulse would keep better temps.
