Meant thermometer to measure air temp
thermometer $5.00
hygrometer analog $7.00
heat lamp and bulb maybe $20
tank $20.
Carpet for tank$8
ok so $60, that still ain't nothing.. It shouldn't be a problem cause if you own a pet u have to be ready for vet bills if it comes down to it,so either way if $40-$60 is a huge difference then u have financial trouble,like maybe you do,well I don't,i make just about a Grand a weekGive or take,it's a great thing,haha..so I don't stress a diff of $20
in a 10 gallon,I'd just use a heat bulb and dome or a heat mat,no diff in hat case..in my 20 gallon I just have a heat lamp in my 29 gallon I have a heat bulb and UTH,depends the situation
