I have to agree with Ken as well. For males I use cement mixing tubs that you can get at any hardware store. They work very well are are inexpensive. There is a company called Iris that makes a Holiday storage tote that is 5' x 18'' x 22'' that are great for adult/ sub adult spotties and also hatchlings. They only cost $20 but you can only get them at Christmas at WalMart. This year I am going to buy about 10 of them. As far as plants go I keep my spotteds indoors so I keep it simple. A few basking sites, hiding places, and lighting and that is it. I clean weekly with bleach so I use things that will rinse fully.

Tom
