    Re: Soon to be BP owner - A few questions
    Thank you guys for all the help/advice. I have one more question though. Is it absolutely necessary that I have a scale? Everyone here seems to know the weight of their BP, but I don't have a scale. Thanks again!

    Absolutely necessary? No. A very useful tool when making various decisions as a knowledgeable keeper/breeder? Yes.

    A gram scale is an inexpensive purchase. Even the good ones are no more than about $35. You can absolutely find them for less than that.

    Ok I was just curious. I'll be getting one then. And do you know where I can find a thermostat that can regulate multiple heat sources? At least three.
    Sorry I just keep thinking of more questions lol

    Herpstat is the way to go if you want to do it right. A Herpstat 4 is what you want in order to regulate up to four different heat sources.

    ^ Agreed, don't go cheap and try multiple units. Go with the safest, most reliable bet, which from what I've seen is the herpstat. The 4 will allow you to control up to at least 4 different units and is super user friendly.
