Should i get A crestie???Or a fire salamander(please reply)

[VooDooMafia]

They will come out and chase the insects when they see/hear them moving.

They do stick to walls and stuff but are not as fast as other geckos like day geckos. They are really cool geckos.

They are the leopards of the aborial world.

Depends on pattern/colour really but you cant go wrong with $85. They nocturnal and they are very active at night. When I had my cresties in groups they were very vocal and I always heard my cresties crashing around as they hunt their prey, crix arent too smart and dont consider cresties as any danger until its too late

they sound so awsome cant wait to get mine ,maybe ill buy a second one in december and theyll both live in the 26 gallon...also like i said the tank is 30x12x16 Should i turn it on the side making it 30 inches tall??

[PDDM]

Here Are the two Which ones better:

Dont use any of them

Feed live crickets and dust them with rep-cal calcium once or twice a week. You can also mix it in with the baby food if you like.

IMO I think those listed above are just to get your money

[CDN-Cresties]

Cresties do eat CGD and GGD but I have found that cresties experience faster growth rate on crix. I usually offer CDG every other day.

We are feeding ours strictly on babyfood mixed with CGD and other vits and mins. Our juvies are growing quite rapidly. We use a paper towls substrate for our juvies, and moist coconut peat and peat mix for our adults. Cresties can live very well at room temp (68-80). No heating or bulbs are needed. As for CGD vs. GGD, some people use the GGD because it has a higher protien level. Some feel that this helps counter act the high amounts of sugar in the baby food. I have a BIG bug and worm adversion so for me cresties being fed on CGD are perfect.

No One Has an Answer for the Last question???Well Im Happy Now , The Breeder Told Me A Normal Hatched Today And Should be ready In 15 days,I Might Not get it till 20 days but im still HAPPY!

[manville]

Good for you! You will be glad when you have it! They are really awesome to have in any collection.

[PDDM]

Its gonna Be my 2nd reptile ,This is what Im thinking For the lil guy/girl's setup...Ten gallon for a while,egg carton,maybe one branch in it,maybe a 15 wat bulb...but i dont know what to do for substrate maybe paper towels,and mist it(tank) once or twice a day(wich one should i do???) also if i mist the paper towels and etc,how will i know when it all becomes too humid???

[Burium]

I mist once a day, usually at night since it is their active period. Mist the sides of the enclosure and any foliage you my have in there. They will lick the water off. They need a period of the time when it is dry, therefore I only mist once and it seems to be working great. Hope that helps.

Buy a hydrometer to measure the humidity. I keep my cresties between 65-75%.

[PDDM]

K,I can Get A hydro meter easily,Also the breeder Told me to bring my 10 gallon and hed give me a Natural look ,I dunno if he ment hed give me the stuff for free,but i guess i would pay a extra money for a natural enclosure(fake foliage is big $$$ money around here) Im pretty sure he said hed be giving me soil mix thing...He said this: "I'll give you some soil mix for the bottom, a piece of bark for climbing
and a little piece of plant to add some color It will give you a good
start." very nice of him to offer too!But i'm just asking whats the risk the Crestie can Get impacted???It probably Wont though,I Dont think itll Go to the ground too often...By the Way The Breeder Is Wyz From This site

[CDN-Cresties]

I seen one of my guys choke on loose substrate so I switched over to paper towel immediatly. Its up to you though.
