As will be known, I have 2 adult Crested Geckos, currently they are in a 31"(Length) x 14" (Depth) x 14.5" (Height) 'viv'.

I'm telling my parents that a different Viv would be better (45x45x60) but they seem to think that I'm wrong and they are fine (And wouldn't be any better in a 45x45x60 viv.

What are people's thoughts on this?

Or a 30x30x45 but I'm not sure which would be better, though either would be good I think.

I reckon that a 30x30x45 would be ok for a pair but really if you can get a bigger one then that would be best. Smile

The viv you have them in at the moment sounds way too small for 2 adults..
As I'm sure you know, cresties are arboreal so height is pretty important for them.. they like to jump around and such so they need room to do-so. And the exo-terra vivs are really good- well worth the money! Wink

sorry can't answer specifically as i dont keep crested geckos but surely all animals wil be best in the largest enclosure you can give them to emulate their natural habitat as best as possible in captivity.

and if they like climbing then they should certainly have a vivarium with some height to it

Try the free ads. I got mine for £25 inc heatmat. I have also seen a pair of breeding cresties for £50!!!! How bloody cheap is that...If only I had the room. Sad

My mistake, I thought you put cms lol But! A taller tank would still be much better for the cresties.. especially as they'r both adults.. I now have Spud (7month old) on her own in a 30x30x45 but once she is full grown I will be moving her to the 45x45x60 which is waiting for her. A taller viv will still be best. Wink
