Does the tail look okay?

I noticed this morning that my babies tail looked a little odd and I’m not sure if it’s tail rot or what I’m about to go away on vacation so any advice is so appreciated thank you in advance. The first picture is from this morning (yes that’s how she’s sleeping😭) and the second is a zoomed in picture of her tail a few weeks ago. Idk if it’s just another angle I haven’t seen before either. I’m just not sure if I should worry or not.

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.

Hey guys this is my new baby his name is Appa. Do we think the enclosure is good? Im first time gecko owner other than that i got tarantula. The change i made is i put his uvb higher than its in photo i used like plastic container that has many many big holes so the lightning still get thru but he cant get too close to the uvb and burn himself

Because its 6% uvb (last photo). The heating lamp i dont use much its only for me to not worry if the temperature would be to low. I got thermostat and thermomether. His usual temperature is between 22 and 24.5. And humidity 80-90in evening when i mist and 70-50 thru the day. I feed him about 3 or 4 times a week the gecko diet he got 2 flavorus (should i get more?) We gonna go to crickets once a week when ill be sure he is ready because he is very shy for now and im scared for crickets to hurt him:( Do you have any advice for me im scared to fu€k anything up because i love him so much. I got night camera so i see his movment thru night he is active but he is mostly on few parts of terrarium and not tuching others. I had him for abt 2 weeks so its probably still time for him to get used to it. Any idea how i should try to handle him when he is ready? Id be realy happy for any advice:) also do i use calcium only when i feed him crickets?

Hi guys I go my crested gecko a few moths ago from an expo . He likes to eat his smoothie but unfortunately I tried to feed different bugs like meal worms and wax worms but he doesn’t seem to recognize it as food is that normal ??

Found this mushroom growing in my gecko's bioactive enclosure. Should I pick it or leave it alone?
