Re: Good beginner lizard?
As others have stated, for a garg or crestie there wouldn't be any problems getting the enclosure the same day as you get the gecko. With other reptiles, it's important to make sure temperatures and humidity are correct in the enclosure before moving the reptile in, but since cresties and gargs are kept at room temperature and aren't too picky about humidity this is not a concern.
If you get one of those acrylic enclosures, misting once a day will keep them happy and shedding well and prevent their food from drying out. In an exo terra or other enclosures with screen mesh tops, you'll probably need to cover part of the screen to keep humidity in. No need for any humidity gauge, though. Just watch and see if their food dries out or they have shedding issues, and cover up some of the ventilation if needed.
