What does everyone keep their cresteds in?

So i've put a lot of thought and research into it and i'm going to get a crested gecko. I've also put a lot of thought into the enclosure. I really like the Exo-Terra Terrariums and was thinking of getting the 18x18x24. I've also considered a 20 high. And to top everything off I have a 15 gallon hexagon shaped tank. While i would love to use the hex, i have no lid for it(i'm sure i could rig something up though). So i'm just kind of wondering what everyone keeps theirs in? Hopefully it can help me sway my decision one way or another. Thanks!

We have a female that is almost 5 that has lived happily in one of the exoterra terrariums. It is heavily decorated and she seems to love it!

what size exo terra do you use?

you can use almost anything.
the 18x18x24 exo-terras are ok, I have one that houses a female and right now the male is in there with her, too.
I have another female that lives in a custom 29gal slider tank (also has a male in with her right now).
20 talls work well, but a 20 long will work, too, if you turn it on end

the 15 gal hex might work nicely if you can fashion a lid of some sort. otherwise I'd say the exoterra or 20tall would do just fine. as long as they have room to roam and lots of plants, you're all good.
