Could I ask why you seem to be in such a rush, there should be no ASAP in getting prepared for a new pet.

And just so I answer your question, as many fake plants as you can if that is what you are going to use, anything that is going to help provide lots of cover, I use real plants but fake are just as good. Lots of things to climb on too, the exo bendy vines are good.

Aiden, I thought you were going to struggle with the hatchling beardies.
Do you not think you should wait till they have gone so you have more time to spare??
and money as you said you didn't have enough.
just a thought.

Aiden, can I ask why you want to get 4 cresties straight away?? It just seems like you're rushing things a bit.. If you really do want cresties then why not start off with just one?
Plus, would you be getting hatchlings?? Because if you are then they could all turn out to be males and then you will need to find money and room for 4 setups.
Also, you haven't been keeping reptiles that long have you? It seems like you're trying to get the biggest collection in the fastest time possible or something- the world isn't going to run out of reptiles if you just wait for a while between getting new ones.

Ok, fair enough you've kept reptiles of some sort for 4 years but according to your signature you keep 7 reptiles you have got 4 of them in the last month Shocked and still have another 56 babies on the way. Why not just focus on them for now? Not to sound patronising, but what if you lose interest a little way down the line and you have god knows how many reptiles? I know thats pigeon-holing you a bit, but it isn't unheard of for people your age to lose interest.

And if you do have your heart set on getting cresties and want to see them interact then why not get two? That way if they do end up all male you only need to have 2 setups, not 4. Plus, you'll be new to keeping them and it'll be easier to monitor if there are less of them. Not to mention that in the space of, lets say 3 months, you'll have have to be monitoring 3 species that you're new to (cham, corns n cresties..) I just think you'll be making a bigger job for yourself. I'm sorry if you don't agree but thats the way I see it...
What's the hurry anyway? Shocked
