RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

oh man...lol even tho it IS a big tank, you still risk over crouding...id only say about 4 or 5...and it all depends whether u turn it on ur side (vertical) then u can prolly get away with an extra crestie max of 5, that would be amazing eh...iv thought about gettn a 75 and doin that...id be sweet

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

actually i have thought about turning this fish tank stand thing that i made into a massive crestie colony...





it measures (LWH) 3 1/2' x 2' x 2 1/4'........that makes it a 120gal apprx.
i was thinking eather crestie or maybe a water dragon muahah
i think a crestie inclosure would be sweet tho, i could prolly get like 8 or 9 cresites hahaha...wow, thad be unreal lol....
i dunno.....another delema haha





ps. definatly make it into a massive crestie colony

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

hahah oh ya i no eh haha...the down side...thanks for shattering my dream hahaha
o well...someday, someday

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

hmmm we have 7 cresties right now. I guess it was around 1000. Now that is scarry. Actually probably closer to 800. The only thing would be the moisture with the wood. It would start to rot eventually.

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

AH HA!!!!!! a solution...i have heard outdoor tounge oil is THE best at retaining moisture, and preventing moisture from getting in....and, i was going to build a rectangular box, with no front (like the tank stand, exact dementions) so the stand will be kind of like a cage...for a cage if u will lol...anyways thats the plan, it sure would be kool tho, ud have to admit

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

its the best for retaining and preventing moisture??? Tung oil looks like it would be a good choice its also approved for food contact by the FDA " http://www.realmilkpaint.com/oil.html " looks like a good product... don't know if there could be any toxi problems with your gecko though

 

RE: Re: RE: Buyin a crestie: need some advice!

never mind found the answer "Tung oil, this is a non-toxic penetrating oil that is made from the seed of the Tung tree. This finish is very easy to take care of in that the oil can be reapplied to clean and polish the chair or even used fill in scratches. A good Tung oil finish is very durable, will not water spot, and only improves with age as the wood develops a rich patina." http://www.owenrein.com/making.html
