I don't know about full screen, but I've been using these R-Zilla Acrylic Atriums that have a partial screen front and a screen top and they work great for me. Cheap too. I heard they are getting taken off the market so get them while you can. Here is a cheap link to them. I've ordered 5 from them. One of one of the cage's pieces screw holes were in the wrong place, but they are sending me another free of charge without need of a return of the original product.

Some folks insist that crested geckos should always be housed in screen cages, others claim glass is fine. What it really boils down to is your environment. Up here in Chicago we have brutal winters, and our house gets down to 65 degrees, with almost no humidity...geckos would not do well in screen cages in my house. If you're in a warmer climate and either have higher humidity, or don't mind misting your cages twice a day, they are great. More air means less chance of mold (from the humidity).

I can't keep the humidity up. I'd look into zillas acrylic. I had a girl loose all her toes cuz she kept ripping them off on the metal cages.

OUCH!!!! Ooh, that hurts just thinking about it...
I met last night with one of the local high-end crested breeders, and I asked him about them -- he says stay away from them, they are crap quality and fall apart after a couple months. He also knows the guy who developed them, and he's a scammer... He personally has a couple of the prototypes gathering dust in his basement, they just don't hold up well.
I personally prefer the Exo-Terra glass w/screen top enclosures, but they are very heavy. My males I have in 20-long sliding-lid tanks, up on end (vertically). All the juveniles I have in Critter Keepers.

I have my cresteds in the all screen cages. The room they are in is temperature and humidity controlled, so it just works out better since my chameleons are already in screen cages. I would LOVE to convert my old tanks into vertical terrariums, but I can't find any tutorials online on how to do so :( You got any tips, Kate?
