Cheap terrariums?

[Lake]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the cheapest way to get terrariums for bearded dragons and other reptiles. A response would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Petco has a dollar-a-gallon sale a few times a year. That's when I get mine. 40 gal. breeder =$40.
You might want to call for info on when the next one is coming up.

40 bucks for a 40 gal is an awesome deal! But u can find good deals on Craigslist too if ur willing to search thro all the crap on there

The Petco sale is a good way to get a cheap bug tank or a travel tank too!

Off topic but what do u house your crickets in? I hate crickets! I have a small plastic bug tank but they keep escaping. (Really only abt 5 out of 100 get out but one loose is too many for me.) And they smell it up so fast I have to clean it out constantly. I started keeping it on the patio bc I can't stand to have them in my house. But now I worry about exposing them to outside bugs or contaminants so I just go buy fewer at a time.. Which is also a pain in the butt.

I've switched to dubia roaches but keep them in the same bin. For crickets I used a 20g tank with a mesh top and an under tank heater on the bottom. I fill it with cardboard tubes as housing, a food bowl, and a water crystal dish made of peanut butter jar tops. I put down wood chip bedding too so it didn't stink as much and was a little easier to clean. I use the same system for my roaches now but without the substrate and food/water bowls. I just put scrap veggies at the bottom of the tank and it disappears. Super easy.
