Excellent! If only WalMart knew what a huge herp supplier they were. ;)

No doubt! I'll be doing the 'rubbermaid' thing with our new guy (which by the way is Mark's B-day present since Sophie was mine), so I'll also be buying that AND a human heating pad, etc., etc....:wink:

Very cool. You'll want to pick up something to secure the enclosure as well, depending on what kind you get. For the lock-top bin types, clamps or toggle bolts or something similar can be used or for drawers the best I've found is small bungee cords. And if you don't have anything for elevating the container a bit off the heating pad, you might want to buy a set of stick-on feet for furniture or electronics or something similar. It's so hard to stick to just one herp. :)

Yes, the furniture 'feet' are on my list too, need a couple for Soph's enclosure as well.......

Yes, very hard, just didn't think we'd be adding to the herp family so soon though. I was going to wait until the show in Daytona this August, but I just couldn't resist! :D

Dang things are addictive. :) I am hoping to make it to the Daytona show too, so who knows what I'll come home with if I make it. :lol:

I wish they had those reptile shows around Chicago... It seems the only things that ever come to this stupid town are car shows , boat shows, and food fests. *sigh* :[

There is one in the Chicago area, and Ohio isn't too far away with a monthly show.
This is a pic of the thermometer that we have. My hubby has the probe on the warm side and the unit sits on the cool side. They have these at Walmart for about $15. For anybody that is interested.

If you make it, let me know, maybe we can meet up. Judy is going to try and come w/her daughter as well.

That's exactly the one I bought. I don't keep the unit in the enclosure as I feel it takes up too much room right now. So, I keep the probe on the warm side and place the unit in on the cool side when I want a temp reading or when I want to gauge the humidity.

I have it stuck to the side of my tank in my leopard gecko's enclosure doesn't take up too much room. I like it for the accuracy of the humidity. I think they are the coolest. It took me forever to find a link for it. The reason I posted it because if anyone wasn't sure what we were talking about.
