I was thinking that'd i'd get a big storage container. And then i'd put it out side. I was thinking a a crate for a basking spot but i don't have one, where can i get one?

simple storage crates can be gotten at walmart in the school and office supplies section. I want to think they are in the 4-6 dollar range. You might even get a good deal on them since it's back to school time.

You could also try other office supply stores!

How big is it? I would look for a stock tank instead.

Thanks. Now i was just thinking that i'd get a 100 gal stock tank and keep it inside, so i don't have to worry about plugging all the wires inside and then putting them outside. What stores sell stock tanks?

I picked up a milk crate at 7-11. They had me pay the $6 fee that they have to pay if they lose/break one but it works.

I've found them at yard sales (no $6 fee, usually they're around a $1. :) But you have to hit a sale just right.

I checked that Tractor supply Co. out, and you have to pick it up, and the one nearest me is 2-3 hours away. I don't really want to spend $120 on shipping buying from Ace hardware superstore, or other places shipping is just too expensive, But i don't know of any places near Coral Springs FLorida that sell them in-store...>_<

Do a search on stock tanks. Then go to the brand you're interested in. I think most manufacturers have a function where you type in your zip code and the stores closest to you will come up.
