Im no crested expert but my neighbor upstairs has one. I have read alot of care sheets on them and from what I understand you dont want it to get over 80 in the cage 75 being ideal whith 60 to 80 percent humidity. His eats about 6 to 8 crix a night to every other night. its about 5/6 inches long growth rate seems to be alot slower than my tokay. With that much food going in that often it has to come out often, probably poops more than a snake that eats less times a week. the cage wont smell if you take care of it spot cleaning, maintenece, ect. I hope this doesnt turn you away from cresties because his is a great little lizard very freindly. Im sure someone else with experience with them will chime in and fill in the blanks and correct were I was wrong good luck and do a little research.
