Petsmart charges $70 for a 20L, then the heat pad is $17 for the smallest one, substrate (her kind) is $6.99 per brick, and the bulb/lamp would be $20+. That's not counting a water bowl, hides, thermometers, etc. She would have spent the same aount either way.

Petco only charges about $50 for a 20 L Critter Cage, which is desinged for reptiles with the sliding lid.

I wouldn't go to petsmart then!

My LFS sells a perfecto 20 long for 34.99, add 9.99 for the screen lid. Petsmart is insanely expensive. If petsmart is your only option, I'd order online.

Yea. Online is what I usually do.

Who ships tanks?

I don't use them anyway, I use an AP rack. I just brought it up because she said she was going to PetSmart, which sounds like her only option.

Not the slightest clue.

Its the only pet store within 20 miles of here, so. :/

Drs. Foster and Smith ship tanks online, myfishtank.com, Marine Depot, Bizarreaquariums.com etc. again those are fish tanks
