Thank you! I'm wondering how I attach a thermostat to my lamp? And I honestly don't think I can squeeze a UTH in my budget let alone another thermostat for the UTH.. Would getting a 75 watt infared basking bulb be too much of a risk, even if I were to elevate the lamp higher? Or should the jump start thermostat help make the 50 watt hotter? Would the thermostat help keep the 75 watt cooler? (Sorry I'm just trying to see my options here)

I plan on getting a juvenile, I think the reptile store I go to sells them? They're about a foot, little less.. Not sure if that's considered a hatchling or juvenile. Either way I was planning on adding a bunch of "enrichment" items and hides. It looks cuter anyways

The humidity likes to hang out around 30%-40% unless I mist the cage often then it likes to hang out around 40%-60% And thank you for the recommendations, I'll keep those in mind if the water dish doesnt help much. The acurite should be coming in tomorrow sometime around 5-7 pm pacific. I'll keep you posted!
