Well i went to reptile depot and got a baby crested today.They breed them their and he looks awsome but so small so i got the jitters right now because he is so cool i just want him to do good.He is in a 7 or so gallon critter cage with just the right ventelation for air flow and humidity.Right now just paper towel bottom and a log up to a corner and a fake tree to hide.Im getting the crested diet stuff tomarow and substrate.I will post pics as soon as me and my girl can figure this camera out,lol.Hopefully tomarow.I wanted a larger one but they were so expensive and this guy wasnt cheap.Ive read all the books i could find and care sheets from breeders,even called some breeders.If you guys can give me any good notes on keeping this baby healthy please speak up.Things youve done good or shouldnt have done.You know what its like with a new herp.Promise ill post pics soon.Yeah my first crested!

why didnt you get a 10g tank? They cost half as much as those plastic critter keepers.
i already had one of each.I got a 10 gal glass tank with all screen top and i had this otherone that is realy big too.He is so small and the plastic one retains humidity better.When i post pics you will see.I thought i would use this now and get a tall eco deal in a couple months.I just think the ventelation on this one is just right.Nobody in all my research ever said you cant raise just one,wtf.Is that a regular problem,i thought if he did good i would get it a mate once it was sexable.
