I have a plexi cage that was used for something else but i want to convert it to use for cresteds. Its 4ft high, 16in wide, and 18 in deep. All sides, top, and bottom are all plexi. I would still have to attach a front door. I was thinking of sealing 6in of more plexi to the bottom to keep substrate from falling out. Then making a screen door for the rest. Not sure if ths idea will keep the humidity in enough though. Maybe i could make a plexi front with a narrow screen door like 6in x 36in.

Anyways i was wondering how many cresteds i could fit comfortably in here (females of course).

Well, that's 8 cubic feet of cage, which is roughly 60 gallons. That should quite comfortably house 4, maybe 5 adult female cresteds. (I figure 20 gallons for the first one 10-15 gallons for each additional gecko is plenty of space for them.) Obviously the usual rules about housing multiple animals together apply: quarantine everybody first, carefully observe their interactions to make sure there's no aggression happening and that everybody's eating ok, etc. Make sure you've got at least 1-2 individual-size cages on standby in case you have to separate one or more of them.
