I will have tons of those bendable vines and lots of plants that are live. Also whats the best sub-strate to use? Coconut fiber?

I have a picture of my set up. I feed my cresteds the gecko diet which you can also buy at a pet store. And also mine seem to love meal worms but cresteds will eat crix. Here is my set up.

And here is my crested. His name is Oddball. I got him from a member on here. HE IS AMAZING....

The best diet is crested gecko diet and you can get it just about anywhere and occasionally crickets for a treat. I would stay away from all baby foods and meal worms. Mealworms are not as nutritious for cresteds as they are for leos and baby food can cause very bad health problems.

My favorite substrate is newspaper or paper towels but if you're going natural then eco earth/bed a beast is probably the best.

If you check out ciliatus.com you will find an answer to any question you can think of plus some:main_thumbsup:

Ya ill use some sort of eco-earth or bed-a-beast because I will probably buy a magnetic feeding bowl that will be like 10" off the ground so I wouldnt be to worried about impaction.

I'm jealous. Post pics of your set up once you have him/her at home.

The Repashy Crested Gecko Diet is sold under the brand T-Rex at the pet store. It's the exact same stuff just a smaller container. We have paper towels on the bottom of our Exoterras and a humid hide with coco husk.

(I hadn't put the humid hide back in yet in this pic)
