Get a baby from a breeder for about the same price. Just think of the shipping as non-vet bills that you should need to take for the pet-store animal.
Remember, smaller babies want smaller cages. Don't start with a 20g IMO, get something like a 10g or a 15q tub.
You'll need a UTH with a good digital thermostat and a couple good probe thermometers.

Thermostats run int he 70-80 dollar range.
If you don't have the 200 dollars + to spend on this animal, you shouldn't get one. It seems like you were concentrating more on money, so I just thought I'd make sure you understand that.
I have a 10g right now. No problem on that. And I am getting my tax money and I'll have the extra 200 to spend on the rest of the stuff. Are babies easier than adults? I'm just wanting to make sure I know everything before getting a BP. I almost might adopt one as well. Just looking into all the options.
