Are adult Cresteds agressive towards younger Cresteds?

I am eventually going to put my adult female and my young pair together. They are between 3 and 4 months old. The female came from a breeding group so is used to being around other geckos. I'm afraid she might get used to being alone if I wait too long, but don't want to put them together too soon if she could hurt the younger ones. I held her up next to their tank and she got very alert and hopped over to hang on the outside of their glass right where they were. The babies didn't look at all scared and they just sat there looking at each other. I'm saving for a 70 tall reptile tank that they started carrying at my local shop. It has a sliding screen top to set the heat lamp on and I was going to set up a drip system up there too. It has a hinged front opening door, opens to the side. Not the whole front opens, just the top 2 thirds. The bottom third is solid glass so the substrate will stay in. It will take me anther month or two to save up for it. Do you think I could put all 3 into it when I get it? I know with Beardies it's a huge no no to put diff sizes together but wasn't sure about Cresties. Every time I think of that tank I get butterflies I'm just so excited about it. I want to try live plants and make it really nice. I figure I can fit a good sized colony in there, maybe get some more females. They sell hammocks with built in 'bowls' that I'll use for their fruit so they won't have to go to the bottom to eat. I'll be asking for more set up suggestions once I get it...
