I know there's plenty of posts about this sort of thing, but I just wanted to know what exact brands of Expanding Foam people are using nowadays.

Just a couple of things, I'm wanting to do 3 enclosures (2 45x45x60 Exo Terras and one 30x30x45 - Wanting to upgrade to a 45x45x45 cube) I have two Crested Geckos (Which are in the larger enclosures) and Mourning Geckos, of which are in the smaller one.

So based on this, and the fact that, I'm wondering what 'cheap' but safe Expanding Foams there are. I also want to use Polystyrene, which I will get from Wickes or somewhere similar, just to help create shape and texture.

I know that most people say to get one without Fire Retardent is best, but from the ones I've seen, the description about their contents are pretty vague; hence why I want to know exact brands. I would prefer black foam, but I'm not really too bothered as it will be covered with Black Silicone and substrate anyway, and I can always just buy something to cover the outside of the enclosure.

Just go steady as expands a lot!
If 3 sides on each, get an extra can. Unless you use cork flats and foam around as you use a lot less foam and looks a lot better also!

Great, I'll get 3 cans, its only 6.50 from toolstation so I can always just nip back and get another can if I need it. Thanks again for the help!
