Crested Gecko Temps

Crested Gecko Temps

I was wondering what are good temps for a crested gecko enclosure, and if mine are okay. I get the gecko on Saturday. The top of the tank sits at around 76 degrees, the bottom is much more shaded and sits at around 63-65. Is that okay? During the night, the temps at the top of the enclosure are around 66, the bottom at 62. Just let me know if I need to increase heat, and how I can do it please!! I included a picture of the enclosure for reference. (Ignore the thermometer/hygrometer at the bottom, it was placed terribly and I moved it to a spot where it’s getting more accurate readings)

How to decrease humidity in a crested gecko enclosure?

So I don't have the gecko yet, I get it Saturday at an expo.
I've been setting up the tank. Today, while testing the misting system I bought, the humidity went up to a desired level but is now struggling to go down after multiple hours. My main issue lies in the bottom of the tank. Any tips? I think some of it may be to over saturation from me testing how I wanted the mist to be, but I feel it should have gone down more over multiple hours. The first picture shows the enclosure, the second shows the humidity reading at the bottom of the enclosure, and the third shows the humidity reading at the top of the enclosure. Any tips? I worry the humidity won't go down enough during the day when I get the gecko.

What type of water should I use for misting a crested geckos tank?

I’m getting a crestie next Saturday and was wondering what type of water to use. I know I shouldn’t use tap water.

I’m not done the enclosure yet, as I still need to add more foliage/cover and finish the bottom half. Does this look sturdy enough? The gray rock ledges are connected via magnets. The rest is all placed thoughtfully and is balanced. It seems sturdy, but I wanted to get more sets of eyes to get more opinions. Also disclaimer I do NOT own a crestie yet, so don’t worry it’s not like I’m keeping some poor animal in an awful cage while i do this and wait for all my supplies.
