Hey, nice looking crestie. I noticed in the 3rd and 4th pics that it looks like regular potting soil in the planting pots. If thats the case, I just wanted to warn you that, its very dangerous for the crestie. If he goes to eat a little cricket hanging out near the bottom of the plant, and accidently eats one of those little foam balls with it he would probally die. I take out all my plants and wash the roots, then replant them in eco-earth or any type of safe substrate. And btw, you did a good job on that enclosure, I like it.

Regular ol' Canadian Spaghnum peat moss is fine. Just know that it carries a skin fungus that can irritate humans and possibly herps. I ususally bake it in the oven at 300* F until it starts smoking (right at the burning level).
