Could I get a little clairification here?
Are you talking about buying the Crested, the enclosure & top (if needed for the type enclossure you get), substrate, plants (artificial or real), food (enough to last a month), etc all for $160?
Do you want to create a vivarium or just set up a base cage?
If you go with a vivarium do you want a water feature?
Just off hand I don't see how you can get to fancy if the cost of the Crested is coming out of the $160 but I'll bet some of the good folks on here who keep them can give you some great cost cutting ideas.
What part of the country are you from? The reason I ask is plants might be available locally if you're in the right area.

One thing you can do to cut costs is search for a used tank. I don't know much about the cresties, and I don't have much time these days to look up info on the size you'd need, but you can get a used glass tank very inexpensively. Welcome to the forum and the hobby! Be careful, you're gonna get hooked!
