>FWIW I just bought a used 55 gallon tank w/ a stand, heat lamp >and basking lamp for $100.00.

Ok just rub it in!! LOL
Last year I went to the next town over where all the stinky disgusting mom & pop stores are to look for a 20H. I'd taken in a neglected African fat tailed gecko who needed to move into my 20L which would leave my pac-man frog homeless. I went to an aquarium store, they wanted $42.00 for a 20H. JUST the tank alone, ridiculous!
I looked all over, couldn't find a good price so I finally walked into Pet's Mart here where they sell tanks under 55 for about a dollar a gallon. I got a 20H for about $22.00 including tax.
When I went there to buy a 55 they for some reason do not sell tanks that big without forcing you to take the light fixture & I don't know what else so it's $120.00 total for a tank with stuff I don't want.
My vet can order tanks from a vet supply house & with S&H & all it's about $80.00 so that's the lowest price I've been able to find in my area.
My painted boy needs a new pair of shoes.. OH! I mean home lol so it looks like I'm gonna have to go with the $80.00 one. :-x
