Enclosure ideas, please post pics.

[Aric]

Im considering getting a crestie or a few and I just wanted to get ideas for enclosures. So if any of you crestie owners could post pics of your setups, that would greaty help. Thanks in advance.

I hear tall aquariums work well...

I have too... where would one find a tall enclosure?

i have no photos of my setups. how sad is that? here is a close-up of how i do perches (polyurethaned bamboo) and (fake) vines in my adult enclosures:



i use the crested cages that reptile depot makes--they are screen on the top and front, pvc on the bottom and back, and acrylic on the sides. i use paper towels as substrate and put egg crates and empty paper towel tubes on the bottom of cages for hides. the egg crates also hold plastic deli cups of food and water (the 1oz cups fit perfectly into the egg crate slots/egg holders.

for hatchlings and juvies i use varying sizes of kritter keepers depending on the size of the gecko. they have paper towel substrate, egg crates for hiding and climbing and a sprig of fake vines.

here are some photos of the setups that sarah milroy (crested lady) uses:

this is the enclosure that i use for adults and subadults: http://reptiledepot.com/reptprices.html (the last one on the page--the "crested gecko enclosure."

you can also use something like a 20 gallon tall aquarium or one of the exo-terra cages (http://reptiledepot.com/Exoglass.html).

Bump! And also: where the heck do I even get the actual Cresties? None of the stores around me have them, so some websites would help.

EDIT: I see that Reptiledepot.com has them. Has anyone gotten any from them?
