First of all, yes, I know this is a frog forum
I tried to join some gecko forums, but they won't let me post new threads for some reason...

Anyway, not that long ago I was given a leopard gecko with "everything" included...And as you can probably guess, everything was NOT included. (my fault for not checking)
Iv got a cheap temporary set up right now, and it's very hard to keep a good hot and cool side, so I do a lot of temperature checks. I went to check the temp this morning and I DROPPED MY TEMP GUN!!!! Completely broke the thing...

So after that, I took the only money I had left and went to but a new one. But the only one at wal-mart was just barley out of my price range...Then, to top it off, there were no digital ones to be found either...I asked a worker to help me find one, but he clearly wasn't the brightest crayon in the box...
Oh, and Ace Hardware is closed on sunday, that doesn't help either...

So yeah, i'm stuck here with NO thermometer and it's driving me INSANE...What if it's too hot? what should I do?!?
I feel so bad for not being able to get what I needed...But there wasn't anything I could do...I just didn't have enough money...
I have one of those glass thermometers, but I assume it's completely useless when it comes to the leo tank? I'm so desperate to just know if my little leo will cook overnight or not...

So any advice on what I could do? Like I said, I want to make sure he doesn't get too hot...
