Looks great to me...only potential problem I can see is when its feeding time (well the livefood feeds)...as you're using moss as the substrate I would think it would be best to feed them crickets in something else (another petpal will do the job). I used to use sphagnum moss as a substrate for my adults and found that the crickets used to hide. Also as Cresteds are quite clumbsy feeders they sometime got a mouthful of moss at the same time. I ended up feeding them crickets in a large bowl.

Your Cresteds should feel right at home in there....loads of great places to hide... Very Happy

that looks very good!

Your only problem with the crickets hiding is that they might get the chance to grow and then attack the geckos, other than that a few crickets running around will provide the geckos food whenever they can be bothered to go hunting for them. Failing that, do as Jackie says and put the crickets in a little tub that they can't climb out of (check the cresties can!).

Also, let the cage dry out at before spraying it again, permenantly damp isn't great for them.

I got your email about which you wanted (both emails...lol). i'll sort them out when I get back from Hamm.
