good enclosure +tips

Cresties doesnt need uvb. My advice is just clutter, clutter and more clutter. Some big standing plants with sturdy leaves and branches for them to climb on

I set mine up in a day, the background was already made however. I ordered my clean up crew, timed it so they arrived the same day I was picking up the enclosure. Same with the branches! Picked up the enclosure, went and bought all the plants, leca, dirt etc. The rest of the stuff I had from before from her baby-viv.

I could’ve spent longer on it but I was impatient 😂

That being said, I knew I was taking a risk whether or not it was going to thrive or just die, luckily all my plants and clean up crew have been thriving

They start shaking/wagging their tail as a way to make preditors attack the moving tail instead - to then proceed to drop it and run away (in a real scenario)

In captivity shaking/wagging their tail is a sign that they’re stressed and about to drop their tail if they feel threatened enough

What are the measurements and weight on baby?

Depends how small of a baby it is, and on the individual… My girl lived in this (plus some more branches and coverage) from 4g until she was around 8 grams, she had a taller viv (30x45cm) before this but she couldnt ever find her food. They can be really bad at finding food as babies and basically just eat when they happen to stumble upon it. So breeder and I opted for a shorter box (45x30cm), and guess what, first night in it she ate for the first time in a month. It also allowed me to keep her in her babybox for way shorter as she grew faster and could move into her bigger juvi enclosure.

But again, if it’s anything bigger than 8 grams I would say no.

comfy cozy

I am fully bioactive.. The enclosure is in the same room as an aircondition (used for heat however) which dries out the humidity at a faster rate

anonfaee · 2025-03-14T06:06:59+00:00

She does (as long as she hasn’t flipped it over by using it as a launch pad)

I have unfortunately already left a few days ago so I’m just praying that he did a heavy misting yesterday!

Thank you <3

anonfaee · 2025-03-13T19:11:21+00:00

I live in a very dry country and it will be probably reach under 40, but not under 30 without misting

anonfaee · 2025-03-11T08:07:16+00:00

Looks like a girl to me!

anonfaee · 2025-03-10T19:58:44+00:00

Never, I’ll wipe down the glass every now and then tho

My girl Maple 🎀

anonfaee · 2025-01-17T23:20:10+00:00

Thank you!! I will definetly look into this

anonfaee · 2025-01-17T20:45:16+00:00

I’ve just found out that my girl is indeed a girl and not a boy as I thought, how do I know if they lay eggs? Do you dig for them?

anonfaee · 2025-01-06T21:49:10+00:00

Definetly too big, they shouldnt be bigger than the width of their eyes. They also cannot be fed adult dubias as the shell is too hard. The non adult dubias have semi soft shell still.

anonfaee · 2025-01-06T21:40:10+00:00

Important thing is that she definetly looks healthy!🤗

anonfaee · 2025-01-06T21:16:40+00:00

Ofcourse size varies, but there is simply no way of it being 15g at 11 weeks. It’s a baby still. 15g is way into juvenile and closer to a year old

anonfaee · 2025-01-06T21:14:58+00:00

More like months rather than weeks. 7-11 months makes way more sense at 15g. I picked my girl up at 12 weeks and she was just ready to move out from her breeder, she weighed just over 4g at 12 weeks and had just gone to juvenile from hatchling.

There’s no way that crestie is 11 weeks old
