Thanks guys for the help! I have done hours worth of searching the internet for two days now and I haven't found any care sheets that say anything about how much of the floor space should be covered with an UTH. I have found loads of care sheets and read page after page of forum discussions...

I have been planning to get a Leopard Gecko for my son and went to visit a breeder the other day just intending to look. My son fell in love with an African Fat Tailed Gecko, and since the breeder was 4 hours away, I pulled a classic no no and brought the little guy home before my terrarium was...

Thanks for all the help!!!

I am planning to get a terrarium for my beardie and am not sure which size to get. The two options I am looking at are 36 wide x 18 deep x 18 high or 36 wide x 18 deep x 12 high (inches). The taller one seems like it would have more room to place accessories, but I wasn't sure if the 12 inch...

Bill, is the Zilla Fresh Air Screen Cover for a 50 gal tank (18x36) priced at $18.27 on Pet Mountain the one you are referring to? Thanks for your help!

Bill, when you replaced the Exo Terra lid with a metal lid, it didn't interfere with the front doors opening? Did you have to modify it at all so the lip didn't cover the top of the doors? Yes, five kids keeps us busy! Not to mention our standard poodle, devon rex (cat), dusky conure...

Thanks so much for all the information! The breeder I plan to get my gecko from has repeatedly insisted that he ONLY recommends Exo Terra for his geckos so I was hesitant to get the Zoo Med even though it was a considerable savings. I'm glad to know I have options! I would rather save the...

Bill, does the Zoo med have a raised bottom so it has some air circulation and room to place an UTH like the Exo Terra does? And are there places to insert thermometers and thermostats and keep their cords out of the way? Thanks!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the input. At my local Petco, there is an 18x18x18 Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium for 99.99 and an 24 wide x 18 deep x 12 high Exo Terra Natural Terrarium for 110.00. I asked if they could order me in an 18x18x18 Exo Terra and they said yes and they thought...

I am getting a leopard gecko and the breeder recommended an Exo Terra Natural Terrarium 18x18x18. I noticed there is a same sized Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium at a local pet store for considerably less money. The Exo Terra does come with a 3 D background that the Zoo Med does not have...

It's a 40 gal breeder tank. It's "temporary" until my husband builds a custom viv... but I've been waiting on that awhile now!

I am in the US so I'll go with the Reptisun 10. Just ordered it online. Thanks for all the help!

Oops! Sorry for the double post.... I didn't think the first one went through!

Thanks! I will seriously look in to that. It could be just what I need until I can get a new viv. Between that and some better insulation, maybe I can get my temps up another ten degrees. I wish I could just find a hotter bulb, but if not at least I've got some options. Thanks guys!
