just seeing if my setup is good, i have a uth on the left side of the tank with a cave over it, in the middle i have a log and another cave with nothing underneath both of them, and on the right side i have a hide with moss which i spray everyday, and some vines that it can crawl on, the temp for the uth is 89 is that good?

Sounds pretty good picture would be great..

Some more questions to make sure its perfect.. What kind of substrate are you using? Do you have thermostat or dimmer? Digital thermometer? What size tank do you have?

The humid hide with the moss that you spray everyday would do better on the warm side because the heat will cause the humidity to rise.

i am using reptile carpet for the substrate i have a retit-temp rheostat, digital thermoeter by the heat and one on the other side of the tank, 20 gal tank

By the sounds of it you seem to have a good set up!

Good Luck with the new gecko and congrats!

so i should put the moss hide near the uth?

Yeah.. I made a topic about this since people have so many different views and it makes sense. something damp over heat will create humidity just have to make sure it doesn't dry out. If you put it on the cool side and your ambient temps drop to low it can get kind of low and stay wet.

ok so i will just move the cave with the moss onto the uth then and spray it a couple times a day
