Which is more important, and which one should I focus on purchasing?
As of most of you know, I use a heat lamp for my BP. I also use only one hide on the warm side, but a plant that can hide her on the cool end. And also use just one of those crappy hygrometer meters, not the digital. So, which should I focus on getting? I can only get one of the three listed. So, which should I focus on purchasing first?
-UTH & Dimmer
-Digital Hygrometer
-Similar hide on cool end
Over time I will be able to get them all.
Re: Which is more important, and which one should I focus on purchasing?
If the heat lamp is working fine on achieving the required temperatures, definately the cool hide. Please make sure it is not a half log... as we all know, they make BPs feel very insecure. I recommend the hides from reptilebasics.com they are very good.

If you cannot get two of those hides, try to get a similar/exact hide for the cool end. The same hide on either side makes sure the snake does not favor one side more than another because it feels more secure on that side.

I have a hide that looks similar to a rock formation. Rock hide I call it lol. She fits pretty well in it and she seems to like it.

UTH:) and a thermostat. A dimmer is ok. Don't worry about a hygrometer.

Alrighty thanks Dave. I may be going tomorrow to get the UTH first, then possibly the dimmer. I wouldn't setup the UTH without the dimmer, though :].

Plus the dry area I live in. So, even more of a problem for me.

2 wrongs dont make a right :D i would save your $ and get a ranco or a herpstat its way better than a dimmer
