Exo-terra cages

[Geckogal]

I am getting the largest size of the exo-terra cage to house a new male, and eventually my female in. Can anyone give me any feedback on it?

They are nice cages, my favorite.  The only problem is that not enough airflow gets to the bottom of the cage and it tends to mold pretty easy.  You just have to keep an eye out for mold.

yeah but like monster aid in another post they sell like comuter fans for the computer and you can get a used one retty cheap and it helps air flow.

What are they made of anyways? And do you all think that I'd be better off buying a plastic cage anyways? Thanks!

I am using the largest for a male right now...i really like it. i have another housing two juvies and so far have had no problems with either. For the Larger, i got the stand that you could get for it, and it helps alot...i just wanted to try it out. Its pricey but i think i might get one for for the smaller one also. The only problem i have had is crickets getting behind the wall in the larger...i guess its too top heavy so it falls forward enough to allow crickets in the back.

Oh, another thing. Sometimes the doors will get squeky but some mineral oil fixes that

I've actually used these for a frog tank.  Never really had a mold problem.  The entire top is screened and there is ventilation on the sides too.

I have 2 and I love them! I was actually checking them out before I even knew what I would put in them.  I liked the looks of them and the idea of seeting up a natural viv. Shortly after I got my first pair I bought the XL wide. I have since then bought anothe, the XL. I'd like to eventually have all my cresties in them.

Maybe I should be posting this in the 'Hot Deals' section, but at my local Petsmart they're really cheap, even the big one. Speaking of which, about how many can the big one house? Thanks again!!!

[BrianLorys]

which is the "big one"?

the largest is 24x18x24....that comes out to 45 gallons. 4 is probably the max....but i think thats pushing it.

Yep. That's the one.

At my petsmart they are not cheap at all, they are even more expensive than petco, by a few bucks. I would love to find a great deal on one!

What is the chespest anyone has gotten a 18x18x24 (tall) exo terra for? The best deal I have seen was for $105.
Just wondering. (I'd really like to get one when Sticky matures but they cost alot.)

well it all depends. I stupidly ordered mine off of bigappleherps.com and the prices were iffy....i didnt really compare it to others alot...but it was the only place i could find one. it costed around 350 i think including shipping. shipping was more than the thing it self! (im not so sure on the price though..it was a while ago)

i later found out that my local pet store could order it, and get ir for retail price, free shipping!  I wasted so much money...
