I have this enclosure:
It comes with a BUNCH of stuff which was great to start with, but the thermometer it comes with is crap.
It also comes with a 100 watt blue day light bulb, which in my situation is too hot. I use a 75 watt blue daylight bulb and then switch my mini domes at night and use a black 75 watt nighttime bulb.(I had to buy a second dome, since the kit only comes with one) I rotate on a 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night schedule. for some people the heat from the UTH is enough, but where I like it gets really cold and I also keep my house cold. So depending on the temps you may not need to use the heat lamps at all. It also comes with a water bowl, half log hide, aspen bedding, a UTH, and water conditioner (takes the chlorine out of tap water)


I use these thermometer and I love them! I also have the zoo med heat gun and the thermometers are just as accurate. I don't think these have a sticky part on the back to to put them up, so mine are stuck on with Velcro. It's important NOT to use TAPE in his enclosure!!! They can get stuck on it and it can cause injuries.

This is the hygrometer I use, it works fine and is quite accurate! It has an adhesive on the back so you can just peel and stick it. I have mine in the middle of the enclosure.


I also use this thermostat. It's not as fancy as some, but it does what it's suppose to do! You can't set an exact temperature with it, so you'll need to play with it a little to get the temp just right. You simply plug it into the wall, and plug the UTH into the bottom.



I hope I helped! Any other questions and i'll keep trying to help the best I can

I just realized I sound like a Zoo Med consultant...lol My local pet store ONLY carries Zoo Med merch, so unless I order online It's all I can get!
