I finnaly get why you guys say lizards are so addicting. I just got my crestie a couple weeks ago and I am already looking at the prices of other lizards. Also can you put another crestie in with one that you already own. Some sites say if they are the same size but I dont really belive it. I belive your guys oppiniens.:Wow::):confused::crazy2::elvis:.

Remember, if you end up getting another reptile, quarantine them separately!
How can you resist a cute lizards face? ;)

I don't know about Cresties being able to cohabitate, but it would make sense that they'd be alright. What Stephan was saying was that you need to keep the new one separate for about 4-6 months, perhaps longer, BEFORE letting it live with the first one. It's called a "Quarantine Period" and it allows you to detect and treat any hidden health issues with the new acquisition.
On the breeding thing, I don't know about lizards, but a lot of snakes will not breed if they are cohabitated. Something to consider. Hopefully a lizard expert will be able to better advise you, but for now, DEFINITELY use a 4-6 month quarantine period.

I have had some friends breed anoles and leopards while cohabitation.
My quarantine periods are normally 2 months max.

So there you go, Molson. 2 months in his own tank, then your new Crestie should be ok to go in with the old, and you'll hopefully have baby cresties in a year or three. Good luck :)

2 breeding aged males together will fight over territory - 1 male 1 female would be fine if you want babies.
