It would be cool for leos, or other small lizards....But the price just kills it. I am building one out of an igloo ice chest (150qt) and so far with everything im only up to about 170 bucks and thats because i bought a new stat cus i dont trust my helix (been acting funny lately). Building is the best way to do it i think. I am still looking for an old freezer or something but thats later.
