If you put it up on end, your cresties would love it. You can keep a pair of adults in a 30 ga. This is an old picture of our setup, and we’ve done some tweaking since it was taken, but it will give you an idea. It’s a 30ga "long" tank, set up on it’s end. The original solid screen lid has been replaced with a bifold screen. It’s just duct-taped in place in the pic, it now has velcro straps. There is a layer of volcanic rock on the bottom for drainage, topped with a few inches of Bed-A-Beast. Lots of climbing branches and artificial folliage, and now there’s a dish that suction cups into the upper corner, to contain the WILD EYE REPTILES FOOD MIX. This picture was taken this winter, hence the heat lamp, we don’t need it in the summer, obviously.

Well 1 way you could make it from letting the soil fall out is to go get a peice of plexi glass cut to form a litter damn at the bottom and just seal it in there with aquarium silicone..

Lower tech than that. We have a "flap of leftover reptile carpet in the lower front. Works fine, and I can wash it.
