Girlfriend surprised me with a baby crestie for valentines day. I'm assuming by its size it is around a month of so old. I am not a new herp owner but I have never had a gecko that needs the humidity to be kept between 55 - 80.

I give him 90 humidity in the morning that last about 3 hours to ensure he sheds well an drinks the moisture from the leaves, but throughout the day it drops down to below 50 an if I have to spray around every 2 hours to keep it around 65. I'm using Eco earth as his substrate an I have covered the tank in some moss from the pet store. I use it for my Leo when he is shedding. It helps hold the humidity up a little better but still not enough.

I have read live plants, and to put Plastic over the top of the tank, but how would i do it since he is currently housed in a 10 gallon with a screen top until he gets a little bigger? When he grows some I will buy a taller tank, like the ones that have the opening door on the front.

Any ideas or critique in his tank setup are welcome. Im feeding him rapashy cgd. He isn't eating it willingly that I've seen so I rub it on his nose an he licks it off. Thanks!
