You'll want a thermometer/hygrometer to measure the temp and humidity. The thermometer will give you the temperature inside of your tub. The temp probe from the thermostat should be placed directly on your heat pad.
I would also recommend a hide. I use the reptile basics hides as someone mentioned previously. On their site, you can also check out heat tape. It's a lot cheaper than a zoo med heat pad.
I think a good cheap thermostat is the jumpstart found on Amazon. It's about $25. It'll be good to get you started.
As for breeders, a Google search will reveal a bunch of good breeders that ship. If possible, you may want to checkout a local reptile show.
