What you're looking for will be way too much to put into a post. I would suggest you look up a good care sheet and get a good book. We can help with clarification, helpful hints, suggest different ways of doing things but there's no way we're going to sit and post EVERYTHING about those topics. That's enough information request to fill several webpages and a few chapters in a book.
A very good website for cresties is CRESTED GECKO INTERNATIONAL (http://www.geocities.com/crestedgecko/f) by Emerson Sy. You can see how much info he has written up, and that's just the basics about breeding and hatchling care.
An excellent book is Rhacodactylus, the Complete Guide to their Selection and Care by Philippe de Volsjoli, Frank Fast and Allen Repashy.

I totally agree with Hilde. I too reccomend the Rhac book, don't let the price of it discourage you from it. It's well worth the money...:)

thanks that care sheet is great but i'm wondering, after you get the eggs in the box, how do you keep the substrate at the right moisture level?

i've heard that its easiest iof you weigh the full properly "mixxed" incubation container then just add water to keep it at the same weight until they hatch...not sure if thats right or not..maybe some one could clarify

but if eggs get wet will that be bad for them
when your adding more water just gently pour it around the eggs so you dont get them wet.
