    Trying to make a cool Crestie enclosure, I need ideas!!

    All right, so I'm going to use a 20g high enclosure and turn it into a beautiful habitat for a Crestie. I've been wanting a Crestie for a while since I can't get over their cuteness. So, this 20g high should do it for an adult (I will be purchasing an adult) or two. I was thinking of getting one female at first, then if there is more space for another I am going to get another female. Anyways, I wanted to see some pictures and get ideas of how I want to get up this enclosure.

    I want to try to aim for a natural looking habitat. I was thinking of getting Eco Earth for the substrate, so would one brick of that fill up a 20g high enclosure? I'm going to buy plenty of plants for hiding places, as well as vines for it to climb across the enclosure. So, if you have any ideas of how I should set this up I will be glad to hear them also if you know of any good Crestie breeders I would love for you to recommend them to me. Pics are also extremely helpful!

    I forgot to mention about the Bioactive soil substrate.. you mix equal parts of coconut fiber and chemical free and pesticide free potting soil. mix it up well and put 2-3 inches in the tank then top it off w/ cypress.. I found this in a reptile mag and they say it really does not need to be changed out.. just spot checked for poo.. good luck.

    Cheers
