TYIA for your help

Hi Michelle,

This is a great tank ! I wouldn't buy the 24 "H for a Whites if I had the choice and could get the 36"H.

I have 5 exos for 5 different species of frogs.
My 2 larger are for 2 different species of Agalychnis.
24W.18deep.36H (for the black eyeds ) the other 36W.18.36H (for the red eyeds )

My other 3 are all 24H used for 3 different dart species of which have had quite a bit of modification ( drilled for drainage and the screen has been replaced with glass )

These are constructed very well! You will not be sorry.

They have screen tops. You will have to cover the majority of this to keep the humidity where it needs to be.
These are large tanks-----keeping them warm (for me ..... anyway.....they are in my basement) can be a bit of a struggle during the winter months? The summer on the other hand is no problem.

Having helped carry some of these into the house, my concern would be the shipping? It could be very damaged if not crated !
I guess, this is the shippers problem , though. I'm so surprised you can't find a shop that carries them, or can order it for you?

Also, these are very heavy. You will need two strong 'guys' to carry this !
The shipping is likely going to be very costly?

When one purchases these at a retail store.......the tops and bottoms are covered with heavy cardboard, then the cardboard is strapped together , around the entire enclosure. The glass is covered with only with plastic wrap.


The glass is exposed when you look at them at a store. Question how they are going to be crated for shipping?

Have you checked out Exo-Terra's site. Perhaps they list 'recommended' online suppliers?

BTW - The big box pet stores carry these. I have gotten 2 really good buys during a sale.

Let me know how you make out !

PM me..anytime w/ a link back to this thread. A link back is really the best way .......so that other members can benefit from OUR experience and discussions.
