Ha! Just goes to show just HOW new I am! I bought a dimmer thinking I was buying a thermostat. How dumb was that?

So...with that said, what brand thermostat would your recommend, where can it be purchased and what's the approximate price?

Do I need a dimmer AND a thermostat? Or can I return the dimmer (still have receipt and original packaging) and put that money towards the thermostat?

I think I'm going to take back the 100W infrared bulb I have and lower it to 50W. The 100W is ok on the dimmer on low.

Probably going to return my cool side hide and get a smaller one, because Kashmire likes to cruise through it, but I don't think I've ever seen him actually stay in it and I think it might be too big and not "snug" enough for his liking. Got that from WalMart. Thank goodness for saving receipts. One day I'm going to get his home JUST the way I like it!

Also having trouble keeping humidity between 40 and 50 (drops at night for some reason). I'm using coconut repti-bark right now and it dries out fast after misting. Is there a better substrate recommended (since I'm going to be doing some shopping this weekend for Kashmire, apparently! LOL)
