    You could look into getting one of these (prepaid credit card found at a number of retailers)....

    They are not a line of credit, you only put money on there when you want to make a purchase and the monthly service charge is quite reasonable. It might be a good answer to needing a credit card. The other way you could do it is to have a paypal account verified with your bank account and do your purchases using the paypal system.

    You could call and ask if an online store would accept a money order.

    You have to get a reptile thermostat. If you have a bank account, getting a paypal account and transferring money to it is free. No card required.

    Just get a prepaid visa debit card. We can get em at our local mall here in Kansas City.

    Hi,

    Could you link a bank account with paypal and keep it just for online purchases?

    The thing from Home Depot is not worth screwing with. The Zilla one from Petco will work, but they are a pain in the butt and not very good at holding a temp.

    Get a prepaid card, then give Rich at Reptile Basics a call, or Dion at Spyder Robotics.
