Thinking about getting one ... What do I need?

Contact one of these breeders and see if they will meet you somewhere to deliver after inquiring if they have any normals (most will have them):

Plus on the last website they have a list of shows you can go to ... there is one on the 28th in Florida. I don't know where you are in Florida, but I'm sure you can figure something out.

Orange Sunshine, I can't say much more about the Hydrofarm except I've already bought it and it should be here tomorrow and I plan on using it.(Though I'll keep an eye on temps again until they settle) But from what I've heard from other people on here, they use it and they like it(the hydrofarm) and have recommended it to others. They wouldn't recommend it if it didn't work I'm sure.
However the couple things I've heard about the Zilla T-stat weren't good and I think I've heard the hydrofarm works better than the Zilla and it's like,....$20 cheaper?

(I honestly have hated almost everything by Zilla heat related. When I Was getting stuff for a bearded dragon, after reading stuff on the dragon forum I was pretty much against almost every Zilla.

I am not saying don't use it just understand the limitations of it. That is all. Test it your self it isn't hard and you can see what it does and how it works.

I have yet to have a zilla product that was worth keeping, forget using. I don't like anything they make. I have an alife t-stat around here someplace it is not worth the 25¢ the plastic housing costs. I believe the alife and zilla are the same.

The shipping with ordering online will almost wind up being the same as a local shop, but you're better off with paying the shipping and getting a superior animal.
