Waterfalls are great for cresteds! I don't have one with my babies but I do with my juveniles and my adults and it really does help with keeping the humidity up in thier cages. I have never had any problems with the cresteds and the waterfalls other than they like to hide behind them!

Will they drink from it and do it scare them at all?

just make sure you get a waterfall with a back to it... the ones without backs are a pain because the crickets hide behind em and usually end up drownin...

Mine do drink from the waterfalls and I haven't had one yet that is scared. I did forget to mention that you have to clean them very frequently because crickets do drown in there. If you do get one, you can purchase a little mesh bag (found with the fish filters and stuff) to put over the pump. This keeps all of the cricket bodies and stuff out of the pump!
