are you sure leopards and fat tails would use the whole enclosure and what arboreal geckos could we put in it?

Cresteds are arboreal and fairly easy to take care of. They require a very small amount of additional work compared to Leos, but cage cleaning is a bit more of a pain both because they like a lot of leaves, so there's more stuff to take out when it's time to clean, and because they poop everywhere. (Nobody warned me on the poop, so I like to make sure people know that going in. Don't get me wrong, I love my crested, but something like a Leo that picks a corner of the terrarium to go in is super-easy to clean up after by comparison.)

if you put stuff for them to climb on, they can't climb walls if thats what u mean. cresteds climb walls and probally will utilise it better. how many r u planning on getting? if more than one i would suggest getting 2 females.

Cresteds are awesome beginner geckos. minimal maintenance. they can eat an almost entirely insect free diet if you don't like crickets. although mine love to hunt ! here is a pic of one of my babies!
