i understand about being a broke college student... for i am one. but what i have learned is it is alot cheaper to get stuff online. for example, a zoomed UTH costs almost $20 at a pet store. online i can get a 20-30 gal UTH for $10, or by getting flexwat wired you can buy by the foot (about $3-4 a foot) and then wire it. for hides you can buy an $6-8 log or cave hide at a pet store, online plastic hides from $2-5 depending on size. check out reptilesupply.com thats where i make a lot of purchases. another this i do is vist the dollar stores. a large water bowl...$1, humid hide...$1, fake plants... $1 ect. i would just be cautious about buying from a specialized pet store cause prices get marked up a bit. let me know if you would like somemore examples for i have shoped around alot. and i am sure others will have good ideas aw well.


by the way, that girl is a looker!!!!
