Thanks again Joe!! There is a Petco near where I work. I hate it... nothing in there ever looks healthy, the store is always a mess, and the help is absolutely clueless. So like you, I generally don't give them my money. But for a deal like this... :-) Do you ever go on Craig's List? There are always tanks on there, you just have to be quick. I got the 55's I have now from there, one for $30 with the stand and one for free with no stand. Check it out if you don't already! Lots of reptile people post on there too, at least around here.

I've read aspen is ok for substrate... you agree?
