Setup Costs Thread
Ok guys, so I guess I'm just going to do a thread where people can list what they are using on their setup and how much it cost them for everything. Can also function as a checklist for people starting fresh. I listed underneath stuff that I wasted money on. Try to keep it simple and easy format for people to go through.
Used Animalplastics Cage 48" x 36" x 24": = 125$ (New - 350$)
2 x Zilla Ceramic Bulb Housings: = 22$ about (bought at petco)
Large half log: = 11$ (petsmart) - not needed
Large rubbermaid tub for water dish: = 10$ (walmart)
10 Plastic plants .80 cents each: = 8$ (walmart)
60 watt Ceramic bulb: = 20$ (petsmart)
Dubia Colony (40 females, many nymphs): = 45$ (craigslist)
50/45 Halogen flood lights (1 is spare): = 15$ (walmart)
Dirt: = Free (outside)
Other logs: = Free (outside)
Large ceramicpot(broke in half for hides): = 8$
Temp Gun (much better than zoomed stuff): = 29$ (home depot)
Digital Hygrometer/Thermometer: = 13$ (homedepot
Probe Therm (used for ambients): = 8$ (petsmart)-not needed
2 tub system (to seperate nymph roaches): = 20$
CVS heatpad for roaches 3 settings: = 20$
Tongs: = 7$? (dont remember)
Outlet Timer (1x3 prong only): = 5$ (walmart)
Spray bottle: = 4$? Just a guess
Total: = 370$ (may have forgot something)
Stuff that I bought which was a waste:
Reptile hammock
Cocoa fiber substrate
Sand (I just ended up taking outside dirt)
The prob thermometer
Sticker thermometer
Analog thermo and hygro
50 Gallon tub (housed my roughneck in there :-/)
120 Watt bulb
Large 30 gallon tub for roaches
(I put them in a 2 tub system with holes drilled in the bottom of one, nymphs fall through to the second one and adults stay in the top)
