Well, I got the basics of my setups for the cresties that I will be acquiring soon up and ready! Here's a quick rundown:

- 17 holes on each of the short sides (two rows of seven and one of three)

- Newspaper and/or papertowel substrate

- Cut bamboo (in three) and a pvc pipe with opening cut into it (in fourth)

* Should I add more plants to allow for space to hide? I may end up using fake or possibly even go with eggcrate until they are mature and I can set up my colony...

I guess that I feel fairly good about these other than maybe adding a few more hiding spots... also, should the bamboo be fine for climbing since they are arboreal or would anyone recommend something different?

Heres the pics:

Thanks for looking and all of the great info that I have been getting from all of you! Let me know if anything should be changed or was overlooked as I am hoping to see if I can get them here on Thursday morning!!!

I like 'em! They look completely fine, I'd just add more plants for fun if they were mine, more hiding space and things to climb. Egg crates work great too :D

I'm jealous! Post pics when you get them :D

More cover and more ventilation... IMO. :)

Oops, I should have mentioned...I agree with Tim too. I've had some cresties in rubbermaids and without enough holes they can really smell :p

I'm probably gonna cut a large rectangle out of each of the lids and put screen on, it'll make misting easier too.

I just don't wanna do it at 1:23 in the am (creepy, i always look at the clock at these wierd times! almost every night I seem to look when it turns 12:34 YEAH... I'm a weirdo!!!)

Thanks for the input guys, they'll be getting screened lids tomorrow!
