Oh my days! just spoke to the other half and to my surprise im allowed a crestie! GAHHHH! so happy!
I as recently as 10 minutes ago wrote a post as i was stuck in an inner conflict of crestie or fourth snake, And john really surprised me by saying i could get one :o I suppose three snakes is good enough ;D The fourth will just have to wait :P
Now even though i am doing my research, even bought a book on cresties today ^^, i want you all to throw your all knowingness at me Crestie owners! All opinions etc welcome ^^
i can't stop smiling  |

Really easy to look after, get dunelm ivy, fake plants, save up your milk lids for food bowls, order repashy from ebay or lily exotics or clarks diet but i, well i should say Fudge prefers repashy! Fudge loves her shedding stump, but hated it when i put in sphagnum moss, as i was recomended to do
really recomend the fake bendy branches too
If i can help with anything, i will do my best! |

| arrg typical, forgot to say id recomend level up reptiles for a magnetic feeding ledge, she sells on ebay, but is cheaper from her website, comes with glass dishes, they hold the milk lids great, so no mess goes on ledge, unless crestie walks through food......lol |

AHH,really looking forward to seeing these new beasties-I keep trying to get OH to see my viewpoint:
Cresties are just a kind of super snake with legs....and feet ....and a penchant for fruity stuff...yes? |

Oooooh, thanks SBB. I may have to look into them as they're cheaper than the American alternative I came across.

There are some good youtube postings on step by step guides to making your own magnetic ledges, you can also cut a length of the foam insulation for pipes to fit across the viv to add platforms and even cut out slots for milk tops as feeding areas.
As for substrate most people use kitchen roll for babies, I will most likely be using a mix of eco earth, compost(organic) and charcoal as I will be hopefully having live plants in the viv.
This site is quite good for viv decorations: http://www.dartfrog.co.uk/ and aslo this place: http://shop.pollywog.co.uk/

| Sadly i tried many times and failed badly to make the ledge, so was really happy with buying, as far as i have found level up reptiles was the cheapest to buy. |
