Zoo med vs. exo terra

[Deku]

I don't like the split door of the Exo terras, plus the wire mesh in the Exo terras seems to rust much more easily. I also like the one piece, no split lid of the Zoo Med. It's really a toss up. If you can get one or the other on special offer, take it and don't worry about the differences. I will say though that the Exo Terras seem to be more popular with dart froggers, at least.

Personally I don't like the Exo Terra foam backgrounds - they look awfully fake when you are trying to take pictures of frogs with that background behind them. The Zoo Med backgrounds are real organic materials (cork) but you usually have to buy them separately and they aren't cheap. However, you should be able to get the Zoo Med backgrounds to fit the Exo Terras, so best of both worlds.

Really? I never had a problem with the rust. Though I know its made of metal wires and everytime I have a lid for my terrariums(tanks) they rust about every 4-5months really badly. What I do is I get some vinegar and I start to rub it off on the lid. It actually gets off all the rust. It may or may not work for you but I know it has for me. I just grab some of that and I start to vigerously clean out the tank. Thats what I was taught in my old job. :P We used to find rust on some of the lids that were up for sale so we were ordered to clean them up.

im leaning toward zoomed. i prefer the one panel door to the two pannel door. Also would an 18x18x24 be able to be home for two wittle dumpys? im thinking about surprising my boyfriend with the tank then...as an added surprise taking him to the store and letting him pick the two or one frog(s) that he wants..i think thats better than picking out everything? because the fun part is picking out the little animal..and it will be his pet after all.
