There are several of us on here who have crested geckos and could easily give you much information about them and their set up, however (and without coming across as a you-know-what) you should probably have directed that question to one of the various gecko forums out there. Or, check out websites like pangea.com or other crestie breaders' sites for more information on care and set-up.

thx man i will, but one quick question, do they need as much ventalation as chams, like my cam tank is 80% metal mesh, do they need all that ? or could i put him in my 80 gallon or maybe my 30 gallon tank thats all glass

They don't need it, per say, but it doesn't hurt. So long as you can keep the humidity up, it's fine.
80 gallons is too large for a crested gecko. 30 gals is the size an adult can be in, but I do 15-25 gals for adults. Seems like they are more active in the 15 gals, I've noticed.
It all depends on what age gecko you get..
