All though they say they can be housed in 10 gallons if you have a nice size female or male they will really appreciate the extra space of the 20. I have never used the Exo Terras myself but i really like they are designed to give more width from front to back, it gives you more room to place water dishes, plants etc. And when misting its a pain when you have to take the top off because you lose heat fast unless really quick, were as with front opening doors of a Exo Terras prevents this from happening. You still lose some heat i guess but with warm air riseing you lose it faster takeing off a lid. I dust my pinkies but only dip there but in the vitamins, for a thermometer I use infrared and have Hygrotherms that keep my heat in in check so for a thermometer i will let someone else help with that. And for ideas for what to put in it i would keep it pretty simple, water dish a plant and maybe a nice size hide or even just a couple big plants. My guys really like to bury and chill under there plants.
    If I get the Hygrotherm (I already have a heat matt) and the Exo Terra tank, does that mean I should not need my heat lamps anymore? Or should I keep them readily expressible in case?

    EDIT: Hygrometer is a little bit on the pricey side, incase I don't decide to get this particular thermostat, is there any alternatives?
