I think the Thrive brand has a feeding slot in the top of their terrariums, but I don't know why you'd need that. I just go in through the front doors with a pair of feeding tongs. Because I live in a low-humidity area, I've covered the top of my tank, so opening part of it to feed would be a pain.

I also don't have any experience owning a Thrive tank, so I can't speak to the quality or anything. It appears you can't buy just the tank, on its own. You have to buy the entire kit, so I doubt I'd ever get it. But judging by average customer reviews, it seems like a good brand.

I agree with the others suggesting PVC. It looks just as good as glass and is far easier to maintain.

But it's also more expensive, which is why it's not an option for me at the moment.

Faith.luu was right about the Exo Terra tanks being harder to keep humidity up, though. I live in the desert (humidity is 3% today, according to my phone's weather app), so that's the one thing that can cause issues.

But the good thing is that, because they're so well-ventilated, I can completely cover the top, which helps. And I've got a substrate that holds humidity, as well as spraying the inside of the tank twice a day. And that's worked great for keeping humidity where it needs to be.

And I also agree that investing in a 40gallon or larger tank now is better. If your ball feels anxious in a larger space, I've found that adding more coverage does wonders.
