I was wondering is their a difference between tanks in the reptile section of a pet store and those in the fish section? I am thinking about getting a new gecko and don't want to pay $70 to get a 20 gallon tank. Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!

'Critter' or reptile tanks don't have tempered glass on the bottom. This makes the tanks a lot lighter and cheaper, but they can't hold water and shouldn't be moved if there's anything heavy in them. So that's the difference in a nutshell.
