I've kept my hatchlings in these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Tank-Size-182-125mm/dp/B00267TYH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312917175&sr=8-1
(although they were cheaper when i got them lol!)
The babbies are so diddy they dont need huge enclosures - even a cricket box would do 
All i put in the boxes was kitchen roll (for substrate), bottle tops for food and water, and couple of leaves off one of my fake plants.
Easy to keep track of everything then (eating, pooping etc), and still gives the babies pretty much everything they need! |

Okay brilliant thanks for the help!
Are they easy to keep. I find the leopard geckos babies easy, and the adult cresties... Are the baby cresties similar ?
Also I read how often a adult will lay eggs, but I couldnt find a average on how many per a season or when the season starts/ends. Could you help me out here too please ?

Okay thanks. I knew it would be spaced out through out the season.
Thats that question answered.
Temps for incubation - similar to a leopard geckos ?
And still need to know their season |

The female gecko should weigh 35-40 grams or more. If she is under this weight, then she is likely still growing, and forcing her to breed could take calcium away from the growing process and use it up in the egg production process, thereby stunting her growth or endangering her health. For her safety you –must- wait until she is the correct weight. In the long run she will be able to produce healthier eggs, as long as this precaution is followed.
Breeding season for the Crested Gecko can be anywhere between January and October and usually lasts for 8 months.
