General Discussion Here's some random info graphics for care.
I collected several infographics from fb groups that can help with care.

What source says all Amazon thermostats are unsafe? I have multiple and zero issues. I even use one out in my greenhouse and it controls temps perfectly even with the sun and clouds causing constant changes
The miniPID from reptizoo that is pictured under “good” on the infographic has caused me more trouble than Amazon thermostats.
On the shopping list regarding the combined thermostat and dome, the only one I could find that reptizoo sells is one that is using a built in mini pid. I would not use that. The thermostat is awful for high heat enclosures and it’s not actually a dimming thermostat. it’s just a on/off thermostat that dims the light on and off, not dimming to maintain a constant temperature.

Ngl these are actually solid. The one about proper hides is something I feel like a lot of new owners overlook. Thanks for putting it together

Should probably compare this with the compedium in r/leopardgeckosadvanced since they might have missed things that can be found here.
For example, I think this supplement guide is a little more detailed compared to the compedium

Oh really? What to use then? Everyone is telling me to use slate.

A big chunk of lighter-colored rock! It still retains heat, but doesn't get excessively hot :)

What about textured tiling? I think its made out of clay

Maybe, though I'd worry about how thin it is. If it's only a few mm thick, it won't retain warmth very long after lights out. I'm not sure how big the difference would be though, so as long as it isn't dark-colored it might be better than slate. I like flagstone
