Non adhesive shelf linear $15.
Log 1 - $40.
Log 2 - $25.
50w 1 - $15.
50w 2 - $15.
75w - $20.
housing for bulb 1 - $20.
housing for bubl 2 - $25.
housing for bubl 3 - $25.
Reptisun 10.0 w/ housing 18" I think - all together $70.
Zoo Med hammock - $15.

This is just everything I've spent in my 5 months of owning Reptar. Food would be the hardest to calculate since it depends or varies on what I get.
