    Re: New to the Forum and Need Advice

    As a fairly new owner myself, I don't advise the kits that you can buy from the pet store. It's a waste of money. I'm speaking from experience here because that is what I got but half the stuff that comes in it is basically useless and you have to buy a bunch of other stuff to make it work. If you go the glass tank rought, it may be better to buy just the tank and buy everything else you need separately. Some suggestions for things you'll need are: under tank heat mat and thermostat to regulate it, substrate (I like forest floor but there are several good ones, just depends on your preference), if your house stays cooler than 75 you may want a ceramic heat emitter to help with ambient temps, hides (at least 2), water dish, temp gun (it has a laser to check surface temps, definitely need this) and I prefer to have functional decor in my tank to provide my guy with climbing opportunities. I'll post some pics of my set up. Just as a disclaimer, I am no expert, this is just what has been working for me.
