Hi
Just wondering, would the 18x18x18 inch exo terra viv be big enough for a pair of cresties,
I am asking 18 high specifically as the spave I ahve have is 19inches.

thanks
mike

I'd say so.
But not 100% on space requirements for cresties.

You would be better getting the 45x45x60 exo thats what i have awaiting the cresties im getting.
But someone with more experience will be along with better advise soon

IMO a 45x45x45cm (18x18x18) is what I would class as the minimum for a single crestie. Minimum for a pair, trio or 4 (at a push with enough plants/cover) would be 45x45x60cm (18x18x24).

You could probably get away with the 45cube for a pair if you planted it up right and had lots of hiding places and climbing stuff etc. But for cresties I'd want the height to be greater for a pair.

i would say so as well. but you could go for slightly wider to make up for lake of height, if height is the problem

Would have to agree with Phil on this one, looking at my Exo-Terra which is 45x45x60, 45cm really doesn't look like it would hold 2 cresties, especially if they're adults?

Yeah they are, which is the problem with the cut off height, 15cm may not sound like much, but it certainly does look like there could be some difference on my terrarium between width and height (45cm & 60cm)...
