im super new too but my girl seems to really like hides that wrap all the way around her with small openings. she had a half log to start but when i added a full hide (some cheap starter one from petco) she took to it pretty quick. now she only uses the log sometimes to bask on (she's got a uvb since I'm in a cold climate).
also I'm saving up for a thermostat too but in the mean time i bought a 15$ zoo med rheostat (you can find cheaper on lowes or home depot online) dimmer type switch for the UTH and i just put a thermostat prob over it to monitor temps. it isn't fancy but it keeps the temp below the dangerous 100F until i get a legit thermostat. [im paranoid so i also bought a 9.99$ temp gun so i know the temp doesn't get too high]
I'm with you on the glass tank struggle lol. i plan to save up for a T8 that my baby can grow into and will better keep heat and humidity in. anyway I'm sure you'll find some great help on this site by some more experienced keepers, i know i have!
