Thanks for the suggestion. I have a number of leopard geckos in similar enclosures and sometimes feel a little guilty about it. I was feeling good about the amount of room the cresties have to move around in .. room to climb, roam, even jump. Unlike my leos, they really make use of the room. Maybe I"ll try adding a plastic box with a large hole inside their cage and see if they will use it. Anyone else have any ideas?





>>They're not pretty, but plastic cages such as rubbermaid tubs are absolutely amazing for humidity. I have approximately the same problem you do (I can go up to 60% though). I happened to have to put my male cat gecko in a little plastic tub as a hospital tank. It's got a fair number of holes in the lid. I misted him down a bit and came back a few hours later to check the humidity. 98%! That's almost TOO high (well, not for him at the time)! You can control the humidity in them by altering the number of holes in the lid, the amount of misting, and the size of the water dish. But if your cresties seem unhappy, it's worth looking into.
