My males spend more time in the egg box then the females!
The only downfall with the height is finding small plants that support the geckos weight.
Pothos work great in bins especially when they start to vine throughout the enclosure.

Very good point. What do you keep your cresties in anyway. More of a display tank or rubbermaids?

For lighting, I prefer to use a double fluorescent fixture... and for fluorescent tubes, I use one grow-light, and one 6500K daylight fluorescent bulb. The 6500k bulb puts out a really nice, clean white light with a slight blue tinge to it. I have grown stuff like Phalenopsis orchids, and small bromeliads using this two-light system. I use this same type of lighting above ALL of my frog tanks as well. My plants grow like weeds.
As for the egg laying with live plants .... my cresteds are too young for breeding, but a couple of breeders I know actually have laying boxes in their tanks, as well as live plants. The geckos will always bury the eggs at the base of the plants, in and around the roots. It is funny, because you can look at the enclosure , and you will know if the females have been laying or not.

I want to change over to display rubbermaids!

I have a 25 gallon-30x12x18
a hexagon 23h-18L
screen cage 20x12x24h
20 gallon 24x12x18
62qt sterlite bin. same dimensions as yours

I want to convert over to bins they are so much easier to clean and look good as displays.
