Trying to find a viv online at a reasonable price is almost impossible.. That's why I built my own... Materials cost about $140 and it will last me the life of the beardie.. It's 4x2x2

Here's a pic just if u wanted to look

Craigslist


There are always tons of tanks of different sizes listed. If you're not in a huge hurry, you'll come across a 40g breeder or a 55g for under $50 eventually, especially if you're willing to drive. I see them that cheap or cheaper every now and then, and usually you can find one in the $75 range, which is still way cheaper than buying new at a pet store. I live in a very rural area, so I have about a 50-70 mile range I'm willing to drive to pick up. For me, a 100 mile round trip costs me 4 gallons of gas, which is less than $12. So, a $50 tank plus $12 gas = still way cheaper than pet store.

ill check and see what i can find

pet shop up here in maine sells 40g used breeders for 25$, I've been picking one up every other week pretty much and selling them for a profit on criagslists.

Just recently replaced my 40 breader tank with a 36x18x18 Exo-Terra

Makes it so much easier to live with my Beardie.

Alas the hinges are plastic and I can't envision this lasting more than 2+ years. I may do a full review later.

Where and for how much did you pick that up for?

PetSmart - on sale now for $187 + there was a promotion that took off another $30 or so.

BigAppleHerp also carries it.

I like it enough that when and if the hinges do break, I'll buy another one.
