Yes, I love the book. I got it at the same time I got my cresties (after reading all the care sheets I could find, of course). The photos are great, and I loved reading about the other rhacs. I will definitely leave the millipedes to you, though!

As far as starting out with the Jungle Mix, I'd still recommend starting on paper towels, at least until you're sure he's a competent hunter. After Scooby's mouth full of dirt incident, I'm wary of putting the little ones in with even just 1/2" of loose substrate. Of course, s/he came out of it fine and more trusting of me than the others, but if I hadn't been home or hadn't noticed, it could have been ugly.

I'm looking forward to seeing your crestie and the housing you come up with!
