It has the same floor space as a 55 gallon tank, but it is not as tall. This makes cage cleaning easier for me, and I don't have to use higher wattage bulbs to get the basking sites at 110.
a 40 breeder or 55 gallon tank is a good tank for 1 male and two or three females. The more lizards you have in there, the more you have to maintenance it.
