Just in case you are not sure where you can go online for decent items and deals.

Amazon of course
Walmart online (not in store)
Petsmart online
Doctors Foster and Smith
Reptile Basics
Reptile Prime (amazing substrate)

For frozen rodents:
Perfect Prey
Big Cheese Rodent Company


If you live in Canada then Cornel's world is your best place for a lot of supplies.


The only online experience I would avoid like the plague is petco. Slow processing and nail biting frustration when dealing with customer service. One tip however is that if you do see something you like online and have a petco nearby but the online petco price is cheaper, bring it up to a sales clerk. They should check it online and if cheaper give you the online price from their site.

Other places to look at if you eventually want to give the best options are:

Animal Plastics for enclosures

Spyder Robotics for thermostats

Acurite for thermometers and humidity gauges. Often their site is the cheapest online and shipping is fantastic from them.

You may want to purchase a hygrometer instead of a hydrometer unless you are testing specific gravity of some beer you are brewing. :8:

Thanks! I will definetly use some of those online stores in the future. I only use Petco's online store for UVB bulbs, because the prices are so low. Otherwise, I only go to their store. I might actually buy rodents online in the future, so thanks for that.

I also changed the bulb in his tank from a UVB to one of those "Night" red bulbs (I know he can still see it), because the UVB wasn't getting hot enough. I'm going to order a heatmat thermometer off of Amazon today, but for now he has the light. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'm planning on holding him for the first time at the end of July, and I'll be trying to feed him every week. The employee at Petco told us it would take a bit for him to settle in and start eating, so I'm not really as worried as I was.
