OK kids, give it to me straigt on the housing issue

im ordering from reptile tubs.

Eddie, I would def go for a sterilite system. Trust me man, it's way much easier than a tank and your BP literally blooms in front of ya :D

Blooms eh? Sweet! My choise is made!

Aint it the shiz, Wiz? Lemme know how the shipping runs for ya if you beat me to it.

will do.

I remember posting about reptile tubs months ago and nobody seemed that impressed, but I have as yet to find a larger plastic tub than their biggest, if you need a specific size,or an odd size I think its great.(provided they ship promptly)

Rubbermaid, Glass tanks, Animal Plastics etc there all good It's all in what you can afford or what you prefer.
I have seen some pretty big rubbermaid type containers at Lowes and very reasonable prices.
I agree with JJ 36x24x12 or 18 is all you need for the normal size adult.
One thing I have to disagree on with most is the "trouble" it is for temps and humidity in glass tanks. I spent 12.00 for a Tropic-Aire and another 10.00 for the pump and have never looked back on temp/humidity problems.
22.00 not a bad investment.

I never have humidity probs in my tanks either. The waterbowl provides all the humidity I need during shed times, when I cover most of the airholes in the plexiglass lid with tape to conserve humidity. During nonshed times, I just leave a few more airholes exposed.

Ours glass-kept are perfectly fine with steady humidity levels, beautiful sheds no regrets.

I have a glass tank now & I have to work a little harder than most to keep my humidity levels correct & the temps fluctuate a ton. I also live in a very dry environment. I could go with a glass container because i have gotten good enough at maintaining proper husbandry that we have perfect sheds & no feeding troubles. I would just like a sterilyte or rubbermaid or what have you because it would be less expensive & require less work.
