my two adult cresteds hardly ever move, day or night. Often they will be at the same exact spot in the morning as they were the prior evening. I'm concerned so if anyone has any ideas as to what would be going on please let me know....

It could be they have a favorite spot, and you just don't see them being active at night, so they return to that spot in the morning. Do they have plenty of coverage, branches to climb on and hide spots?

they could probably use some more but theres a fair amount of cover right now, the female is constantly hiding in a plastic plant, i've got an infared light so i can see them at night time and normally just stays there all day and night

If the geckos aren't moving they aren't comfortable for some reason. How long have you had them? It takes time to settle in. What is the temperature? Do they have hiding spots available? is the humidity correct?

I've only had them for about a week..temp is 79, humidity is all good, probably could use a few more hiding places, got some fake plants, a vine, some sticks, and log with fake plants attached to it

It's going to take more than a week for them to settle in. Give them time. Add a few more hiding places and leave them alone, they'll become more active as the become more familiar with their environment.
