Advice for first vivarium

I recently set up my first vivarium (18x18x24). I’m getting a crestie in a couple of weeks and I’m looking for advice on how to add more climbing for him! I’ve tried more wood but it isn’t giving the look I want, any advice to make sure my gecko has the best enclosure possible is appreciated! Ive never kept reptiles before so any tips for that would be helpful as well (I know the plants aren’t looking great right now especially the pothos but they were in my fish tanks so they’re still adjusting!)

How much is too much on the wheel?

Our boy Squirb has recently gotten more comfortable in his new enclose and man, he loves his hamster wheel.

I am a little concerned though as he is on it for hours every night... He loves sitting on it, running for a bit, hopping off for 15 minutes, then right back on.

He's getting a ton of exercise but I wasn't sure if we need to moderate his borderline obsessive behavior.

Squirb Stats:

11 months old

~24g

Eating daily

24x18x36 bioactive enclosure

UVB and LED growlight on day-night cycle

Crested gecko eye slightly brown

He's acting normal and looks fine besides the eye. Not sure if I should be worried. He just woke up so I'm not sure if this could be categorized as a misfire. Let me know if anyone knows what this could be.

They both like it 🥹🥹🥹

Was cleaning their foliage in the tanks and Gekky (in the first pic) decided to flop in her coconut and Becky (2nd pic) likes to hang out of hers. (Yes they’re in separate tanks) I love these derpy wee things.

I sMeLl ThE fOoD.

I was making gecko food for my 5 month old baby crested on top of his cage. The man in the picture is a very greedy man fat pig and slob. He came to the top once he smelled and saw the food.

Enclosure Help

How does my buddy Dunkin's enclosure look? Also what else do I need for his enclosure? Should I move one of his ledge food bowls more towards the ground?

Last pic is him eyeing up his next victim lol
