I'm no Crestie expert as I've only had mine since November of last year, but here's what I've been doing:
I do keep my humidity between 50-70% roughly, I mist in the morning and at night when I go to bed.
I haven't fed mine any fresh mashed fruit, only CGD (original flavor). I heard some like strawberries though, and some people feed crickets (cresties that eat crickets regularly, along with CGD, do seem to grow faster).
I have my guy on paper towels personally. I recommend it for babies so they don't accidentally eat some substrate.
I do not use any UVB or heat bulbs for my guy: his temps stay between 70-75 where he is at and he does perfect. I believe temps under 70 are too cold for cresties but they are hardy. Hotter temps are more detrimental to them.
