dry tortoise shell?

Yeah they keep the ceramics at a safe temperature😊
If you type in reptile ceramic heat emitter, a bunch should come up, free feel to double check them here, I can’t say for certain on the wattage, sometimes people have to test different ones, most go with 100w

i found this one!! i'll look for the thermostat now. is there something i have to use to make the lamps turn on? a fixture or something? i'm pretty lost right now TwT

the kit (second image) is something i'm buying only for the fixture, since it's the only one i could find. (34 inch fixture). it comes with 5.0 UVB which i doubt i'll use, so i put two reptisun t5 10.0 34" in my cart to use instead. for the cococoir, that's the brand i usually use. i will have to check out garden supply for orchid bark ^^ is everything here alright?

I’ll have to have someone confirm that dome for you as I’ve never had to use them so hang fire, the basking bulbs look fine, if that fixture is the same length as the reptisun that should work fine, I believe you get just the one bulb but I could be wrong as there’s two pictured, but perhaps check the small print, either way just one t5 uv bulb is all you’ll need with the fitting😊
For the substrate I’m not 100% if it’s coir or if it has fibrous coconut strands in(which are an impaction risk) perhaps try this link below for the coir? I’m pretty sure you can get that brand in the US

Liner looks good👍

Yep they look fine, when looking at thermostats, make sure it’s an on/off one, not a dimming one. Also make sure the wattage is higher than the amount you’re putting in, so for example if you’re using 300w with of bulbs, you want a thermostat that has more than double that power, try find a 1000w one.

For your basking, ambient light(which will both be on the same timer) and uv, you’ll need two separate timers, plug in wall timers will do the trick.
As for the ceramic should you need one, no, just plug into the thermostat, set the temperature and put the probe into the coolest point of the enclosure and leave it running 24/7, the thermostat will turn it on/off for you as and when it’s needed🙂

Obviously for all your bulbs you’ll need the dome fittings👍

oh okay! i think my substrate looks exactly the same as the one you linked, which is good. and yep, i'm going to buy two just in case ^^

i found this for the thermostat (it turns off and on) i like how it has two outlets ^^ for the dome fittings, can i use that fluker's one that i linked? is it the right type? i'm confused as to how all this is supposed to plug into the outlet haha. hopefully i'll figure it out soon. (and hopefully colleges will allow a 44x34 inch enclosure in the dorms...) i also already have two timers, or maybe three. i'll have to find the third one though.
