The babies made me do it!

As far as the critter keepers go. What are the dimensions of the small one. I'm trying to find an example of what I have available to me, but Petsmart's website doesn't have them on the site, but does have them in the store. Petco had these... http://www.petco.com/product/5914/Le...r-Keepers.aspx

i use the small version of this kritter keeper for hatchlings and the medium and large versions for juvies and subadults: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/...et-containers/.

I always have tons of fruit on had as I have sugar gliders. Pears, apples, plums, peaches, kiwi. Is kiwi ok?

kiwi is fine, just cut out the part with the seeds.

Do they need any special lighting like UVB? I know that leopard geckos don't because they are nocturnal. I read that cresteds are nocturnal as well so I'm guessing they don't need it but I wanted to make sure. I have a UVB bulb at home if it is needed.

nope, they don't need any special lighting although some people choose to provide UVA/UVB lighting. if you do this, be sure to supplement with vitamins without D3 as you don't want to overdose your geckos.

Oh my goodness. I'm so full of questions today.

I will look online for this bit of info but just in case I don't find it here is my question.

I saw on another thread, someone posted the weight of a baby they had purchased. It was apparent that the baby was far to small and I was wondering...What is a good healthy weight for a baby crested?

you should look for geckos that are 4 weeks minimum age, but 2-3 months is preferable. weight should be at least 4 grams, but it will vary depending on the exact age of the gecko you get and what its diet was like. i.e., if you get a 4 week old gecko, it may not be 4 grams yet but if you get a 3 month old gecko it will likely weigh more.
