Oh don't use sticky paper, unless your intent is to kill this poor little guy. You can't get them out of that (unless it disolves in water or something like that but even then I wouldn't recommend it). Take it from me who spent agonizing minutes carefully removing a snake who got himself stuck on ducktape which was used to cover a hole in a glass tank. It took a long time to get the snake free without ripping off his scales. The snake didn't enjoy the experience at all, nor did I.



One ideal that comes to mind that may work...is put in a glass jar (like a mason jar) high enough to keep small crickets in. Set it on the floor in plain view. Place a branch or something that the crested can climb up on to get the crickets. Hang a little bell off the stick (ideal is if the crested jumps on the branch, it will ring the bell lightly, may not work at all but just a thought). Change the bulb of a small lamp to one of those night glow thingies, so you can see without lighting up the entire room and freaking the crested out. Hopefully the movement of crickets will entice it to come out and eat them. You could leave a little dish of water out too, just in case it takes a few nights to find him.
