It is funny that you should have leos and now want crested. I have 6 leos and 2 crested. The first time I saw them was when Lyn posted pics on the leo site. I went to a local reptile store and saw them in person. I fell totally in love. They are a great pet and just as sweet as the leos.

I have a 10 gallon high tank with a hide, a big branch that sits diagnolly in the tank and a good bushy silk plant.
I feed them a couple of crickets a day and baby food. They seem to like sweet potato and apricots the best. (at least mine do)
I have a UTH under one half the tank. They are good at room temperature though. The heater is more for the really cold nights in Boston.
I also have a container of calcium for them at all times.
They need a more humid tank than leos. I mist their tank once or twice a day since it is dry in my apartment. They love sitting in the mist and come out when I do it.

They hang around in the funniest places all day long and look like they are one with their environment.

Please explain... where can you buy it, what is it (like what brand). Do they just go into the dish and lick the calcium?
