If that specific listing is unavailable, type in 3m chain on Amazon and look for a reasonable priced one, something like this🙂

Any one of them will work. The second one will give you two plugs and two probes. That way you can plug two Che's into the same thermostat and control them individually.

That exact link said it was unavailable can you look at my attachments And tell me are any of these options good? Or am I completely off one is the same brand and looks the same but I’m not completely sure. And how many of these do I need?

The two govees are your monitors that measure the temperature and humidity so you know what the levels in the enclosure are.

The thermostat is what the CHE(s) will be plugged into👍

3meters should do you, you’ll probably have leftover👍

Ok multiple conversations so @Megatron's Mom I bought this one for the thermostat.
@Littleredfootbigredheart I am confused by the chain what is that for?

 

[Littleredfootbigredheart]

The chain is to hang your lighting from the greenhouse frame, but you might not need it if you plan on making stands🙂

Ok gotcha can the stands be purchased?

Also I remember hearing about a basking rock to put under the basking light. Is there anything specific I should know before I get one?

for decoration or added stuff in her home is there anything I should get or should avoid to make it more enjoyable And safe for her?

ZooMed sells light stands.

For the basking rock, you can use slate, sand stone, bricks, pavers... Anything that is flat, and "rock-like."

Potted plants, logs, big rocks, half log hides and humid hides are all good. You can also hang potted plants from the ceiling to save more walking space on the ground. They will nibble or hide under any leaves that hang down as the plant grows.

You can buy them but tbh it’d probably work out cheaper to make them by screwing some timber together, I’ll attach some examples of the different kinds, if I were you I’d make two of the longer type stand that you can see the strip light(uv) is mounted to(6th photo)it’ll mean you can adjust where your basking light is over the enclosure but it’s up to you🙂

For a basking rock any kind of flat rock will do, most people use flat slate, just check with the temp gun that the rock doesn’t get too hot👍

Hopefully Toms suggestions for deco and stuff helps, just make sure you look up any plants you want to add to check they’re safe😊

 

[Littleredfootbigredheart]

Oh and for potted plants, wash the roots of the soil they came with, and plant in coir, I’d personally wait until new growth because you don’t know if there was fertiliser added, which plants can absorb

Ok and yes definitely I’ll check here for all information before putting plants.

Everything is ordered and on the way
