You can get climbing wood at a pet shop and pay whatever their price is, or find some nice drift wood or branches in your area outside to use. Just make sure you disinfect it and kill off any critters living in the stuff by either soaking it in a bleach and water solution, or baking it in the oven at 250-300 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.
You should probably do the same for anything bought at a petshop too. You never know what contaminants could be on the stuff.

As for astroturf, that’s just indoor/outdoor carpeting. You can get that at any hardware or carpet and flooring places. Or you can get repticarpet at pet shops and stuff like that. Make sure you have two pieces cut though, so you can swap out a dirty piece to be cleaned and put a clean piece in its place.

I think forest bed holds to much humidity. Switch to repticarpet or something like that.

If you want to see what the temps and humidity REALLY are, I’d throw those stick on gauges out and get a digital thermometer from Walmart.
