Here is a pic of my setup that my friend and I built. Since this pic was taken, I have changed the way I place the egg cartons and I drilled holes in all rubbermaids. The two aquariams were my friends crestie that I was taking care of while he was in florida. The critter keepers is were I place my hatclings.

Please feel free to comment and post pics of your setups, especially if you have large collection of cresties.

Wouldn't it be a bit dry with the egg cartons? Nevertheless, looks pretty efficient.

Brock,
the rubbermaids do a great job of holding humidity, I only spray once during the night on the sides of the enclosure.

Ptindy,
There is the smallest of gaps between the rubbermaids and the shelves, adults and juvis cant escape threw the gap.

I love the rack! I'll need to make one of those myself.
I made a single sterlite snap on lid enclouser for a couple cresteds from chokeonsmoke. How long did it take you to make that, and what size are the bins? I would want to put a uv light throughout to grow plants in their enclosures.

I use 80L size rubbermaids. Im not really sure how long it took to make it all. Some days we worked on it more than others so its difficult to say. If you spend one entire day on it, Im sure you would be able to make it. Thanks for the comments! :)

Dragons Den, Sticky Toe Exotics, AC Reptiles
those would be my choices if I lived in the states!
Go one kingsnake you'll find a ton of crested geckos. Very expenisive ones too that we sell for a lot less in canada.
