The most cost effective way to start is to use a critter keeper & then when they are much bigger, you could considre using a exo terra viv.

For the sub-adults, i would say keep them in 2 seperate 30cm x 30cm x 45cm exo terra viv. When they are bit older, you could keep them together. But you can only sex them when they are 9 months old. Once you have found the sex, you can decide what you areg onna do next. If they are both female, they should live together in a 45cm x 45cmx 60cm exo terra viv. If they turn out to both be male, you cannot keep them together, they will fight. If one is male, and one is female, you could keep them together, but they will hatch eggs, and i don't know if you want to be looking after this.

The humidity should be around 70% - 100% during the night, while they are feeding, and in the morning you can give a little spray, too boost the humididty to around 70%. If it is too humid for long periods of time, then mold will build up.
You don't really need a hide out, because as long as you have enough branches, logs and plants (doesn't matter whether they are real or fake) they will just hide amongst the plants during the day.

Good luck with your crestie
