    Thermometer/ hygrometer- go to walmart and get one of those indoor/outdoor theyre prolly like $20
    Rheostat- reptile basics has one for $18 but i would highly reccomend a thermostat and only use the rheostat as a tie-over

    Accurite Termometer and Hydrometer Combo is what most of Us Use... get yourself one with Outdoo probe so you can measure cold and hot side of the cage.. Lowes,Walmart,Home depot or Amazon.com have them from 10-19$ per piece.. depends on model or current promotion

    Don't waste your money on a rheostat. You can get a decent thermostat for 30 dollars. You can sometimes find them in an indoor garden center or http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-MTPR.../dp/B000NZZG3S

    Get this. Don't waste your money on a rheostat. I got one of those first and I was constantly adjusting temps. All you need is this and it will maintain your temps for you.
