Is this all I need for start with a BP?

The best thermostat is a herpstat (you can get a herpstat 1 basic), or you can get a vivarium electronics.

I've gotten the cheap $30 thermostats like Jumpstart before, and they do work, but they become very inaccurate in under a year... and then you still have to get a new one. I realized it's best to just start with the best LOL, it saves more money in just a few years.

I'd also rec getting a temp gun! It's needed as a double-check for your temps, in case your other equipment is faulty, you would know.

If the thermostat has a screen with current temp and one with goal temp, can the current one not be trusted either?
