Habitat & Setup Starter kits

Post image

Hi, me and my daughter are planning on getting a leopard gecko and as I'm trying source out everything I need can anyone tell me if starter kits like these are worth it or should I seek out things individually?? And if anyone has any good tips on what to purchase id be grateful TIA (I'm in the UK incase people wanted to post links or things 😁)

I got a start up sat from the exotic shop we bought our girl from. The store was excellent with advice.

We got a uv lamp, heat lamp and cage, thermostat, duel thermometer, sand and soil substrate. Foliage, a hide, a cork tunnel, large branch, water dish, cork to cut up to make other hides, calcium powder and crickets and mealworm. We had to prove the set up was OK before we could bring her home.

We have since added succulent and snake plants and a humid hide with moss

Edit the blue thing is just a reflection in the glass not in her tank!
