I'm not familiar with ExoTerra. What are the flaws? If they leak, that would rule out a waterway or falls. I've only used aquarium tanks of various shapes and sizes. Two leucs would do all right in a 10 gallon as well. You will need to raise fruit flies in either glass jars or deli-cups--I use 32 ounce deli-cups. You will need to renew the cultures at regular intervals, so a 10 gallon tank wouldn't do for flies. Springtails do well in just a covered refrigerator container, as do rice beetle worms. I suppose you could use the 10 gallon for crickets. I just keep mine in a critter-keeper until they've all been fed out, pinheds to the frogs and as they grow larger, to the geckos, and have never attempted to raise them deliberately, although escapees seem to be raising themselves in the cellar, and a few have lived to multiply a bit in the Leopard gecko tank.
Here's a wicked idea--What about 2 leucs in the 10 gallon and 3-4 imitators in the vertical ExoTerra? ----- Patty
