Anyone got....

[Jeanne]

links to manufacturers of cage that can be used to house cresties?

I should probably know this, but right now am drawing a blank.

Thanks!

http://reptiledepot.com/reptprices.html -- scroll to the bottom to the crested gecko enclosure. i use those for my adults and breeders.

How many are you housing per one of those?

It says the sides are plexi, what is the back?

[mlededee]

three adult females or one male with two females in each. you could probably also do four females or one male with three females depending on how much climbing and hiding space you provide.

the bottom and the back are pvc. the bottom piece slides out for easy cleaning as well.

OOOoooOOO Totally cool, I think thats what I will buy and set up then. Thanks for your help! I cant wait till my baby grows a little, right now it is soo tiny. How old/big are they before you put them into something like that? Right now my baby is in a medium kritter keeper with a basic set up. And which size are you using?

[mlededee]

i keep mine in kritter keepers of various sizes until they are at least around 20 grams. if i had more of those enclosures i might house groups of juvies in them but i think i'd still wait until they are around 15 grams. if you want to put them in earlier just keep an eye on them to make sure that they are finding their food. some people say small enclosure for small gecko, but my very first cresteds were housed in a 20 gallon tall as juvies and they all did just fine finding food so it may just depend on the gecko.

What size are you using?

[mlededee]

i keep clutchmates together in small kritter keepers for the first few months then move them up to medium and then large. i just move them up as they seem to outgrow their current space. past that, well, i need to order more of those crested cages soon.

I think I'm going to look into what Emily is using for her younger Cresties - larger enclosures seem a bit too cumbersome for such small guys and gals. As for what I'm using right now, check this out. They're designed perfectly in my opinion, though my 18" x 18" x 18" seems too large for my young Crested. If and when I do change it out for something more appropriate, I'll likely save this one for when I get a few more Cresteds and they get to adult size, or for amphibs (which I think this is ideally designed for). Zeppelin doesn't seem to have much trouble finding his crickets, though he doesn't seem to touch his Crested Gecko Diet at all.

Thanks for your input, Emily. I'm definitely going to consider Kritter Keepers... and I need to weigh this guy!
