What do you guys keep your baby cresties in?

What size conatiners do you use, and whats in them?

I have no baby crested s but a few G. vittaus and there care is almost identical but they like it a bit more hot (85 tops)

Right now there in these plastic critter keepers I got when I bought a few lizards from a store. No substrate, and a paper towel tube. Then I have those containers in a larger container that is full of peat mos. So the humidity is 80 % and they eat the great.

Thanks for the help :D

The kritter keepers are fine, I also think small rubbermaids are fine and 5-10 gallon tanks if you prefer glass, all good options

I used critter keepers for my babies.

I have 5 55 gallon tanks I'm using as Rhac nurseries. Each tank is divided into 4 sections with lots of branches, some pothos and either coco-panels or eco-earth. There's pea gravel underneath it all for drainage, and adhesive shelf liner on the outside back wall to about 3/4 of the height to give them some security. Each 'apartment' can house 2-4 cresties for about 3 months, at which time I move 2 into 10 gallon tanks.
Some of my cresties and gargoyles (overflow :) ) are raised in critter keepers, but the majority of them grow up in this kind of set-up.

I use a 2 piece glass aquarium lid. To supply air circulation, the rear glass isn't always in use. The back half of the top has plastic mesh siliconed in place. You can almost make it out in the top picture towards the back of the tank. Depending on the temperature and season, the back meshed covered section might be open all the time, partially or even completely covered by the glass lid.

Wow, very nice, I think I am going to give them a realistic cage set-up now that they have had there second shed now :)

Looks great Hilde!

Those look like they would work just as nicely for dart frogs :)

As for my juvi cresteds, I have been using critter keepers, fake plants, and paper towel.

Trust a frogger to spill the beans, huh? ;)
I originally made up several of those tanks for dart frogs, works fantastically for D. auratus, E. tricolor and . vittatus, and making only 3 sections works for any of the D. tinctorius group. Then I realized the benefits of making up tanks like that for the Rhac babies. Since I wouldn't have to worry about heat and water circulation for them, having all the tanks similar would make life easy for me. They get some height, but since they're babies, they don't have an overwhelming area to hunt their food. It sure saves on having to find places to put 30+ kritter keepers.
I also have one 65 gallon tank, no dividers, planted with pothos to the point where there's hardly anything else visible. I originally used that for raising springtails (frog food) and pillbugs (geckos and frogs). Sometimes I have to put a few cresties in there when I run out of room in the other tanks. They grow just as well in there, though I rarely ever manage to see them in there until they've at least doubled in size. I could remedy that by thinning the pothos, but heck, they love the hide-and-seek game we play when I do the head count, why spoil their fun.
