Edit: Just looked back and realised it's not Cresties But hey, I'll leave it there, just make sure you know it's a different lizard!
I did put a nesting box in mine, but my female just ignored it (except for when she wanted to eat the soil stuff ), she then laid 3 clutches, all burried in the bark, and all underneath something (kitchen roll tubes twice, and her water bowl).
However, that's just what happened in my sircumstances, other people use nesting boxes which the female uses. I suppose it's down to the lizard maybe. _________________ 1.1.1 Crested Geckos

From what I have read they don't use them. I think I will try without for my pair and just wait and see if anything happens. (Sorry for not answering your PM.... ) _________________ Best wishes, Jackie

I keep mine on newspaper and provide a nest box of damp peat, which they use everytime. They don't seem to bury them and they are stuck together unlike cresteds. _________________

I only have one pair of adult Mossys now, I'm an idiot I sold off three pairs for almost nothing and only kept this pair because the male lost it's tail (which has since grown back fine although a different colour)
I tried to buy some more from Allen Repashy while I was over there but he had only a few spare and was quoting $1000 a pair!
I do have 3 unsexed young but am not planning on keeping those. _________________
