    All Living Things Leopard Gecko/Snake Equipment Kit?
    So, I found a All Living Things Leopard Gecko/Snake Equipment Kit and I was wondering, is it any good, has anyone else here have had experience with it??
    I wanted to get it, but didn't want to get it, if it is bad, that is why I am asking on here.


    Thank you for the reply and advice. :D

    I'm familiar with some of the products. However, not sure what the kit includes.
    If you can list what it comes with I can give you my two cents. A lot of times with those setups you end up not using half of it.

    i would not use the digital thermometer the feeding tongues, and i probably would not use the heat mat and lights.. so i would not buy it. i bought a 40 gallon breeder tank from petco, brand was zilla.. it was 119 bucks but got 50% off due to the sale they are having. i use the heat tape from reptile basics. and then make sure you get a good thermostat as that is the most important piece of equipment you can buy, so dont skimp on that. also you could just get a plastic tub like many people do, i use to, but got tired of not being able to see my snakes sleep.

    From my research, i'd use all of them.

    I'm not using a tub if i already got a tank...

    Heat lamp and bulb - useless to me, they're expensive and use a ton of energy. Bulbs constantly fail too so if you use them always have two spares on hand.
    Heat mat - small, eventually you will need a bigger one.
    Tongs - cheapies, I have a pair of these and they don't hold prey very well.

    For $50 you can do a lot better buying individual pieces.

    Also it should be a crime to sell a kit like that without a thermostat, most people will just hook up the heat mat unregulated thinking it's ok.

    Chances are you'd end up replacing everything fairly quickly. It'll get you started, but you'll still end up replacing pretty much all of it.
