Crestie enclosure

[matt s]

Ok Heres the thing I wanna make a really cool looking natural enviroment I was wondering if this stuff would be ok for like 1/2 of the substrate the rest will be loose moss or maybe a piece of tile. http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=2240
Also does anyone have a certain fogger that they reccomend?

No foggers, they burn water like hell and super heat it, useless in anything but a large fish or turtle tank. You should really use Sphagnum moss(Terrarium moss is Sphagnum), I hear very good things about it and were starting to use it now too, its not as expensive either. If you wanna do something REALLY naturalistic just get a bunch of live terrarium plants from petco or plants that are safe for cresties and put them in the tank in pots or eco earth. And get an African Giant Black Millipeed like were trying too.

Where do you locate a millipede at?

Also they have a fogger like this one http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=320
that has a container on the outside and it mists not fogs. that what I meant.

That mister is said to be crap, that it falls off your tank and apart easily. You could get a mister similar to that, but good, or you could go all out and buy a humidifier for your crestie room. You can get the milipeeds online at petsolutions.com or some petstores sell them, in florida it would prolly be easy for you to find them if you checked out a few petcos, petlands or petsmarts.

1 more question. Is my cage to big for 1 cresty? its 20L 18W 30T.

not really that size is fine for one and if down the line you want another you would still have enough room

I got an big adult girl a few months back and I put her in a tank similar to that size and I didn't see her for two months

lol

I'm not kidding-she just recently started coming out in plain sight
The tank is right next to me so it's not like I would miss seeing her
Also-I don't use a light to type with at night so that was not bothering her
Guess that she just isn't real sociable yet
:main_rolleyes:

Anyway-the "natural" tank sounds lovely
Be sure to post pics when it's done

Even social cresties you dont see often unless its really late, 'round 2ish usually, or midnight.
