Hi Gekko,
I have 15 young cresteds, split into 4 groups, each with fine bark chips on the floor and a mass of egg carton as hides. I will be adding some ficus plants soon (not found any small ones Crying or Very sad ).
They are sprayed daily (late evening) and have crickets and fruit pureed baby food. Heat is provided by a heat pad on the out side top wall of the viv (all glass viv).

Hope that helps a little.
Scott

yep, they certainly are cute! they will lick baby food off your fingers!

You gotta be careful not to let them get too hot, they seem to stop feeding if the temp goes over 88f.
