Pictus Habitat Shopping

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy all of the supplies that I will need in order to take care of a Pictus Gecko?? I'm looking for stores that aren't too terribly pricey because I looked on Amazon.com and all of the supplies needed came to a total of almost $400.

You should be able to get what you need at any large pet store for a reasonable price. Pictus geckos don't need much:
10 gallon tank and cover: (estimate about $20)

Under tank heater about $15 or heat cable about $10

thermostat (they run in the $40 dollar range at the big box pet store. If you can get free shipping from Amazon, get one there and if you really want to save money, get a lamp dimmer from Home Depot, though you may have to keep adjusting it based on the ambient temp)

Substrate: best is paper towel or tile cut to size, relatively cheap

water dishes, food dishes and hides: you can make your own, get small terra cotta pots or plant dishes and make an opening, or buy them at the pet store for not that much

I checked one of the big box pet store web sites to get a price estimate.
