Re: totally adicted already!!!
This is my leo tank.
and you can keep more than one female together but not males and females or all males.
When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001? ~ Mark Cuban "for the discerning collector"

Re: totally adicted already!!!
Thats great, thanks!! do you use any heating elements? UTH/lamps/exc? How much do cresteds and leos typically go for? weve only ever had snakes so i have NO IDEA, not talking anything special (no morphs for now) just would like to get a cutie, maybe two for my sons room.. lucky little booger! is a 20gal too big? would it be better to use a divider to make the space smaller to not stress them out? we already have the big tank so unless we can get rid of it on craigslist, thats what we have to work with.

Re: totally adicted already!!!
You can find normal little cresties for around 40 bucks or so online. Check out Pangea Reptiles or Garrick from crestedgeckos.com. Mind you, you'll have to pay shipping, which pretty much doubles your price... but you know you're getting a healthy, happy gecko.
I don't have a pic of my crestie set-up. I put him in a ten gallon set up on it's end (so it's taller that it is long). They're arboreal, so they like the extra climbing space. Got a few suction cups and hungs some silk and plastic plants on the sides for him to hide in, plus some dowel rods to climb on. I personally use papertowel at the bottom (easy to clean), but you can use whatever you want---just make sure it's not small enough for them to swallow! These little guys can get impacted if they swallow their substrate, and die.
Crestie's don't need a heat source. As long as your temps stay about 65, that's fine (if it gets too low at night, you can put a red or blue light on a timer for them).
They also don't need a water bowl (though you can still put a small one in there... just nothing big enough for them to drown! They don't swim well). They get their water from dew and/or rain off the leaves... so spritzing them down a couple times a day works well.
I used to keep my little baby crestie's in a critter keeper (one of the little ones). The ten gallon was ust too big for them, unless you keep a couple together (again, females okay, and males are all right until they get to the breeding stage... then they need to be separated because they'll start bullying).
EDIT: There are also lots of good foods out for crestie's now... you don't have to mess with bugs, if you don't want!
Lol, I meant this to be short...
