    Congrats on the new pickups! I'm not entirely sure from the picture provided but all three of them look be flames.

    You should be incredibly carefully housing 3 cresteds together. You need a ton more hiding spots for all of them to get away from each other to feel secure. Provide at least 3 different sources of food (one for each), a ton more foliage, as well as paper towel and toilet paper tubes to hide in. It is almost guaranteed everyone of them will be missing a tail, or their tails will be nipped, possibly worse without a careful eye. I would have at least one more tub setup in case they start fighting, it can happen out of nowhere.

    Edit: I forgot to add here is a great video to show how to easily get a stuck shed off your geckos. You need to do so quickly or else it may loose a toe/toes: http://youtu.be/mSuirE906p0

    You can buy foliage much cheaper than petstore prices at Walmart, Micheals, or any craft store. You mentioned that one of your crested geckos has it's toes stuck together. It's more than likely either a stuck shed or crested gecko diet dried them together. The video for a "gecko bath" will get it off and free up your geckos toes.

    Cute little geckos. I think you all will see a crested gecko addition of my own in the near future. They are so cool looking.

    Sometimes when they're young, they just stick their toes together, too. Looks really awkward, and makes us humans worry, but then eventually they decide they don't want them stuck together and they're fine.

    Cute little guys, and I'll echo the advice already given - separate housing is best for any reptile unless you're attempting to breed at the time.
    Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

    Oh boy I bought the enclosure today. Plan on picking one up in February when repticon comes my way. I got the 18 x 18 x 24 Exo Terra, All my snakes are in racks so I figured a display cage would suit me.

    I knew it was only going to be a matter of time. I have the same thought process for displaying adult Rhacodactylus. I really enjoy making fake rockwalls for the R-Zilla Atriums. I plan on making a DIY on one when I get a chance. I have an empty 18x18x24 that I plan on housing 2-3 females in when they are larger.

    Just remember that size enclosure will be too big for a hatchling. I just start out with tubs until they are around 15 grams, at that point they can go into the adult cage of 20 gallons or more. I don't see a point in buying a hatchling sized display quality setup that will only last 6 months or so, they grow fast!
