Tank size

What size tank do I need to set up for a adult pair of cresteds?


Thank you  :-)

id say a cage size somewhat similar to a 20 gallon "tall". i usually like to have about 10 gallons of space (minimum IMO)per adult. sorry i cant give any more exact dimensions, but id say get the the biggest pen you have room for /can afford (within reason of course...no need for a 55+ gallon cage for 2 cresties haha) hope that helps a bit.

Yes It does help a bit. Thank you

I have two 29 gal verts. Only problem being is they are solid glass but they do have fans in them for circulation.
Would that work.  Or I have a 29 gal reg I can use with a screen lid.... Oh the decisions.

ive seen pictures of people standing aquariums up vertically on end and making a permanent "lid" with a front opening screen door before (the open top of the aquarium becomes the front), you could try something like that

Both of the 29 gals I have are like that. Only problem being is that the fronts are glass. They have a small screen window towards the top but they do have fans built in for circulation... not sure if that would work on not.

maybe a photo of your tank would help us understand if the fans would get in the way or not. sounds interesting

Photos may take me a little while. But I will work on it.

the fans are located at the very top of the tank. I was not really worried about them getting into the way. I was more worried about if they would provide enough air circulation for the geckos.

They are computer sized fans enclosed in acrylic to offer air flow but I dont know if it will be enough.

I have a 40 gal in  the garage I ought to just suck it up and start building that for them so I have room to add another female down the road :-)
