No heat for a crested gecko anything over 80 degrees will stress a crestie and ultimately it will die, cresties should be kept between 70 and 80 max, what I usually recommend is to keep crestie at room temp what is comfortable for you will be comfortable for your gecko unless of course.
Cresties also prefer vertical spaces since they are arboral species, Ideally 18 x 18 X 24 is great for a single gecko, however if you get a young gecko it is best to start it in a small kritter keeper, young geckos kept in small enclosures have issue finding their food and will fail to feed.
Those dishes are also way too big usually the size for gecko dishes is 1.5 oz, too big of a water dish and you will end up with a drowned gecko especially if young, additionally you will not really see gecko use a water dish as they with lick droplets accumulating on the sides of the enclosure after misting.
Food and water dishes are better off being up so they do not get soiled within minutes, this is what work best

Your friend need to do some a lot of research on cresties based on this initial setup.
