As many as you want depending on the size of the viv. Obviously, with small vivs, multiple males are a problem, but in a large viv, with lots of cover, males could be kept together. Having said that, I would still go for a 4:1 or so ratio of females to males.

I think you will strugglt getting 1.4 crestie's.
most will be unsexed juvies!
I know scott has some unsexed juvies and a few males.

It's the only way I managed to get my females, buy loads of babies and grow them up, selling off the adult males.

Taken two years and I still would like more females Laughing

I keep my adults in 1.5's up to 2.10's. I wouldn't recommend anything over 1.4 for a natural viv set up as you would be hard pushed to get enough hides and visual barriers in there, plus cleaning would be a problem. Everything in my vivs are disposable including the water dishes Wink
