    Re: Finally some pictures of Icculus! (and my set-up)

    What sources are you citing there? The info you are citing is news to me....I've never heard anyone recommend screen tops let alone whole screen cages.

    Well, Allen Repashy's article for Reptiles magazine is one of my sources. Another source is Captive Science, and the rest are lesser known breeders and keepers. Basically, the point is that there is still contention on this point, with worthwhile sources on both sides of the debate and I had to go with one or the other or just not get cresteds. So I went with Repashy and the others and am aware that the other option may have been preferable or that they are equally as good choices and that it's an adaptable species. Only time will tell.

    Hmmm.....this is new to me, lol. I am definitely not trying to refute the info, just probing so I can understand it better. I have kept Cresteds in rubbermaid enclosures similar to the ones I house my ATBs in and they thrived. I suppose theres more than one way to skin a cat, lol.

    I suspect that these guys are just pretty forgiving in terms of husbandry, as long as you don't make it too far outside their optimum. Which would mean an adequately ventilated rubbermaid would work, as would a screen-topped aquarium or a screen cage, as long as there's good airflow and regular periods of 80%-100% humidity or constant 50%-70% humidity. If it turns out that I have problems with this type of enclosure, rest assured I will let you and the forum know so that other people won't make the same mistake. I can also let you know if they seem to be doing well and having good sheds.

    Thanks Jonah! I think that's my favorite shot so far of him. He is so cute and fun to watch, and so is his bashful cagemate, Waldo. They're named for how "easy" they are to find in the enclosure.

    Here's another fun shot of somebody else who really likes to watch the geckos, doing just that:

    She's not quite the hunter that Dobby is, so I doubt she'll try. I'm more worried that Dobby is going to jump on top of the cage and knock it off the sideboard because it's pretty light, so I'm blocking it from falling with a chair every night before i go to bed. She is pretty, though, isn't she? And as a full-grown adult only weighs about 4.5#.
