My first Crestie!

This is my first ever Crested Gecko, or reptile in general, but don't worry, I've done my research . I don't know if its a boy or a girl yet, still too young, and yes the image is a bit blurry. It was pretty active as I took it out of the little transport tub to put it in the enclosure so I had to be quick, my phone didn't quite focus on the right object.
It's home is a 12" 12" 18" terrarium that I set up in an hour with real wood+fake plants and hydro balls/coco husk substrate. Since I walk home, there is only so much I can carry so I couldn't get real plants ;-; not yet, but I will in the future, my grandma has an orchard plant she's willing to give me, I'l have to look up if thats a safe plant (and I know they like humid places hence why most people put them in the bathroom so it should LOVE it in there). However i've hit a snag...
I can't get the humidity up to the 80% it needs to be in the morning so it can slink down as the day goes on. I soaked the balls and the husk, so those were damp when I put them in the tank, and I mist in the morning before leaving for school and when i come home before bed... but I can't seem to get the humidity past 60% and I don't know why o___0' I don't want to be constantly drenching the tank since that will cause mold/bacteria, but i set it up last night AND misted it and this morning is was 30% or below (can't remember exact number) and it shouldn't be dropping below 50% ;-; I've stuck plastic wrap over the mesh top (except for about an inche in the back to allow SOME humidity out) and weighed it down with a rag this morning, so hopefully when I come home toay it'll be over 60% or at least not below 50% I don't know... is there anything else I can do to fix this issue if the plastic doesn't work?
anywho, i know the image is crappy but anyone got an idea of what morph? someone said it COULD be a brindle, and now that i look at it again, I do see it. (I know you can't see it in the picture, but he has cute white lips :3)
