Exo Terra chnging product lines ?

[jhanlon303]

I been buying Exo Terra terrariums since I first found their line. Now I see some of the hoods and the largest tank have disappeared from the home page. Anybody else noticing changes?
My wife's 4' X 2' X 2' is no longer to be found. I think she has the last one in existence - biggest now seems to be 3' X 18" X 18"

I haven't checked but I'm not surprised. Most people can't afford tanks that size or they don't have the space to set them up. That's too bad because I wouldn't even look at a tank that was less than 3 feet long and I prefer 4ft.

Hagen (exoterra) has made huge changes to the way they do business. in the last 2 years, their products have gone from being offered by nearly every wholesaler on the planet to being only sold direct to retail. now they are fine tuning their products lines. some of your older products are no longer available, or will just be harder to find because retailler's now have to meet a minimum order of just hagen products to receive anything from them. also alot of new products are coming in and some replacing old ones....
I don't have my catalog here, but I can look tomorrow to see if there is a 4x2x2 in the catalog, but I don't rememeber seeing one.

the glass terrarium:
12x12x12, 12x12x18, 18x18x18, 18x18x24, 24x18x18, 24x18x24
the screen terrariums:
18x18x18, 18x18x24, 24x18x18, 24x18x24

24"??!! Yikes! Good thing I know how to build my own tanks.

But anyways, it's pretty easy I think to find used aquariums.

how much was a 4x2x2 anyway??? couple hundred bucks?? That's like a 90 gallon tank. I think I'd rather pay for a perfecto 90 than an exoterra....

Not really familiar with brand names but it's good to know. The way pet shops are here they either sell hagen or nothing.

I think it's a lot cheaper to buy than build.

I'm gonna have to buy another tank (for saltwater) in the fall so I guess I'll have to start shopping soon....

We got the Exo from an old time reptile shop in Denver that went out of business. Owner said it was in his inventory for several years and he's only seen one. He got it from a wholesaler. We paid $80 for it and also got a couple of 18 X 18 X 24s. It's sad to lose the Mom and Pop shops. We all like the EXOs because of the 2 doors and the front vents.

Petco put all of their Exo enclosures on sale a couple of weeks ago. They had them priced pretty cheap. Seems like they were looking to sell fast.

That's where our family picked up several in different sizes. I got the cute 12" cube for $42. Don't know what to put in it yet - probably be a live plant terrarium. It's just the right size for the space I want to put it.
