Depends on which Walmart and what city you are in, but yes, here we have a small pet store in our Walmart, and if I watch for them, I can get 20L, 29, 30L and 40L at certain times.

What's the pricing of the 40s?

KITKAT · 04-14-2007, 05:15 PM

It's been awhile... maybe a year since I got one, but it was $63.

that is a good price
and I think that must be near the bottom price that one can get a new one for
that size at glasscages costs $70.-, so that's pretty close
I can feel okay about that

But it's probably higher quality at Glasscages (probably doesn't matter if you're not putting water in it though).

I can't say that their basic tanks are great quality
serviceable, but sometimes the top frame can be loose
their sliding door cages are much better quality
a bit more expensive though
but I've thought of it this way:
the basic tank at petco is still more expensive than the same size with sliding doors from glasscages
there - purchase upgrade justified
