please tell me about your crested nest box.

1. how big is the container? (L x W x H)
2. what kind of substrate and how high up the box?
3. do you use a lid??

1. how big is the container? (L x W x H)

12" x 6" x 3" deep

I use a relatively large container because some cages have 3 females in them.

2. what kind of substrate and how high up the box?

Moistened coconut bark (or soil works well too) an inch from the top.

3. do you use a lid??

No lid, but I put a small half-log or slab of cork bark in there, so that they have something to hide and bury the eggs up against. I don't know that this is necessary, but I do that just so the geckos feel more secure. In the wild, they bury their eggs around the roots of small trees and shrubs, so I figure it must be a natural preference.
