    we have a medium exoterra tank and i think Tonks (our crestie) really enjoys it. here are some pics:

    We got a med. Rainforest kit, it was 200$ but i think totally worth it, tho we did have to buy the coconut hides seoeratly and i believe that we did end up getting another plant on the side. Overall Tonks seems to love it, she hides in the plants all day and then in the evening comes out to chase the crickets :D

    exo terra glass cages are my favorite for adults, just because they look so nice and are a great size for one or two adults.

    They are pricey, so you might do what I do: browse craigslist and get lucky.

    what would you recomend for two juviniles, i was thinking about putting a 10 gallon on its side so it would be tall and skinny, would that work

    I use zilla screen habitats. I think they come out to be equivalent to 20 gallons They are cheap, easy to clean and work great for crested or gargoyle geckos.

    LaFilleClochette, is it really 84 degrees in your crested enclosure? If so you need to get the temps down right away--the max temp you want for cresteds is about 80 degrees.

    No problem--you shouldn't really need a UTH with cresteds unless your house gets really cold in the winter, like below 62-63ish. 68-78 is perfect for them. :)
