I wanted to know if a poly tank will work just as good as a steel tank. No one gave me any positive feedback about poly tanks, and only gave me reasons why steel tanks are better, therefore I obviously assumed you guys agree that steel tanks are overall better. It's going to sit in my garage, so I don't have to worry about moving it around or fitting it through doors. I will use the 3x2x8 tank as the base, and build another 2ft above it. Can the poly tank properly hold 2ft of dirt? It will be used to house a single savannah monitor, but who knows if I decide to introduce a mate in the future. What is the minimum size enclodure for an adult pair? How much bigger than 3x4x8 do I need to go? I doubt I have enough space to fit a HUGE enclodure and my car in the garage. I'm not considering breeding at the moment, but MAYBE in the future.

The reason I ask about the plastic or steel, is because it's VERY hard to find a stock tank at a decent price around San Francisco. I don't have many places to choose from. There is a 3x2x8 poly tank for $200, only 30min away. They sell their steel tanks that size for $250. Yes, that's expensive. If they both work just as good, why not go with the cheaper one? If the steel tank works better, then NO DOUBT I'll pay the extra $50. If I'm lucky enough to find a driver with a big truck that's willing to drive out hours away from the city, then I can find steel tanks for as cheap as $170 at tractor supply. Thanks for your advice.
