Large breeders typically use rack housing systems for crested geckos. When I was breeding crested I use sterlite containers, 58 quarts size. Inside I had simple setups..papertowel, couple cut wooden dowels (PVC pipes, bamboo, etc can be used instead as long as they are clean and bug free) for climbing and artificial plants.

I house one adult per container or a pair when breeding (when I have breeding pairs together or females who are bred but alone) I keep a small container of mix soil/vermiculate dampened with water in the cage for egg laying.

I built a simple shelving unit using 16" wide melamine boards (designed to be used as shelves but you can just buy the melamine in full sheets and cut the sizes yourself) I kept the lids on each container as its easier for me (the containers are about an inch or two longer than the shelf).

For babies I housed individually or in pairs in small dry goods containers roughly 12"x6"x4" which was perfect. In these small containers I used papertowel and a fake plant with bottle caps for food and water. A few holes drilled in the sides for ventilation.

You can also buy pre made adult and hatchling 'Rhac racks' as well.
