Yea, my RES is 3.5 inches long and is in a 20 gallon long, I know I need a bigger Tank. Thats why I came here, I only have $50 bucks. I was thinking about getting a stock tank, but how many gallons, I was thinking 40 but I dont know where to buy? Is there any way to get like a storage bin and put water in that?Please help me out? Links, suggestion whatever, I jst want something bigger! I have 2 filters, a 20 and 30 gallon so I will use those for a while until Christmas when Ill get a new tank and filter and Bearded dragons! =) Thanks

Rubbermaid tubs are cheap.The bigger the better for a RES.Also look on craigs list for a big tank, there's always deals on there.

so are you saying get a rubbermade tank, and look on cariaslist as well?

With RES you should go all out and buy the biggest tub/tank you can get. A 40 gallon wont last you very long and will be a waste of money really. Ultimately you will need at least a 90 gallon - or laarger, so i would just buy something that big to save yourself having to upgrade.

You can buy plastic troughts, large plastic kiddie pools etc for pretty cheap.

Hey just got back from Lowes and my lowes had the 150G preformed pond for only 50$ on clearance! I'm getting it this week, just thought since it was in your budget, and pretty huge, it would work for you!
