Aquarium vs Exo Terra

Something to point out as well as plan the tank for the species you are interested in. For example a exo terra for aruatus may not be ideal as they are mainly terrestrial.

A bit of reading will reveal the OP already has an auratus tank set up, and is looking to set up a tank for intermedius.
Great find on the $60 exo terra...they are my favorite size premade tank.
Wish I could find a similar deal, being that I don't use the top or the background anyways...

For those who own an exo-terra, I'll pop the big question.

Did the Exo-Terra really get the bang for your buck?

Kind of expensive for what they are, but to get a tank with similar dimensions (18-18-24) the only way to get one cheaper is to make it you'reself, or look for a used one.

Ok good point... thats what I get for posting right when after I woke up. :-)

I got a glass tank 18X20X24 for $93. Thought that was kind of high at first but now I am finding that unless I got a used tank, that was a decent price around here. I like the idea of an Exo-Terra simply for the ease of decorating it because I am short and my tank is tall which makes it kind of difficult to work with while setting it up. I have it sitting on a table in a spare room and I have to stand on the table with the tank in order to put anything in it. I would have gotten the Exo-Terra but my husband is 100% against having bugs in the house. If a fruit fly got out of the tank, he would have a fit so I went with a glass tank with glass hood to reduce the chance a bug gets out. I have only fallen into the tank twice trying to put the darn false bottom egg crate in.
