I have both the Exo's and the Zoo Med. I prefer the Exo for two reasons only.
1. The latch on the ZooMeds eventually break.
2. The Exo Terras have a deeper base so you can have a thicker drainage layer.
I do want to point out one thing....you can call ZooMed at 888-496-6633 and they will send you out a replacement latch free with no questions asked. Great customer service.
