I’m a bit short on money for a new tank and I’ve seen the thrive desert essential 40 gallon ( measurements are 36x18x18 which is basically 50 gallon). Or should I just save up for the exoterra 50 gallon. Thrives price was $189 and exoterra was $230. The thrive comes with 2 lamps, a hide, some water dishes and a branch. The only thing that detoured me from thrives was if it was as reliable as exoterra. I would appreciate if you guys leave experiences or reviews of any of the two tanks. Greatly appreciate it

Look at this tank --- you are wasting money on the lamps --- more that likely you will not use one of them because its going to be a coil and a thrive one --- I have noticed this brand and would not recommend it at this time --- you need to go w/ what we know works and you do not want a coil UVB --- you need a tube ---

Well it is trial and error w/ bulbs-- if the room your putting him in is warm you might get away w/ the 100 watt if its a cold room I would start w/ the 100 and if its not keeping your basking temps at 95-105 for an adult or 105-110 for a baby you will need to adjust -- you can change decor around etc....
