Having problems... New BP owner

[Slim]

Well, if all this is necessary the breeder sure didn't inform me. He said all I would need is the UTH to have a warm spot, and if need be a rheostat/dimmer switch to regulate the temperature.

Don't want to bash your breeder, but when you mentioned him telling you that stick-on analog temp and humidity guages would work just fine, I kinda' made up my own mind about his level of expertise.
