And then I’m basically done right now I’m at the zoo so I’ll get those items in like a day or two (today ceramic) when I get paid my $40 I’ll buy the zilla thermostat and hopefully I can get a loan of some money from my parents to buy the rest

You are doing much much better congrats! Just one pointer I might have is to add a water bowl. Something cheap and shallow like a terra cotta saucer works great.
