Wow, isn't it surprising how quickly you forget how small they are once they turn in huge adults with hobnail boots Laughing

Soph Exo Terra's a fantastic for cresties, I've got the really large one and I've got 7 almost fully grown mosters in mine, and they have plenty of room to move about and stuff, but they all seem to prefer to huddle together on one patch of glass Laughing

Depending on how many you want and what size they are you might be just as well getting one a few sizes up.

If you're getting ones a few months old they should be big enough to find food in the viv easily enough. If you're getting proper tiny babies, you'd probably have to start them in a smaller viv just so they don't get lost in it.

Me either for the initial 24/48 hours when they're red and wrinkly and really cute...then when they start getting their proper colours...and they're big eyes...and...and...and........

Soph I put my little ones, when they were little ones straight into the large Exo, they were about 4-6 weeks old I think, Scott will be able to confirm that better, and they have grown like weeds, I think as Negri said though you do need to be sure they are eating ok, and if you are only going to get a couple then a smaller one would be fine Smile
