im getting a crested gecko for my birthday and i was wondering what size
exo terra viv would be big enough.
theres the large one thats about 32 inches tall and more taller than wide or theres the other sizes.
which do you think would be right for a single crestie? _________________ 2 guinea pigs

The 12x12x18 inch one is fine for a single adult Franny.
EDIT; wrote Fanny instead of Franny _________________ Regards, Paul.

I'd always recommend the biggest you have space for although yes a 12x18x12 would be 'ok'. _________________

Hatchlings need higher humidity than adults and it's eaiser to give this via a damp substrate like peat/eco earth but there are risks. You can use paper kitchen towel if you are happy to spray daily and monitor humidity. As adults the risks with any substrate almost disappear and I would suggest peat/eco earth is a good choice. _________________
