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!)

She looks deflated in the mornings

This is Liza my juvenile crested gecko, Ive had her for about two months now. Past week shes looked really deflated in the mornings. She eats pangea with insects and sometimes horn worms or crickets. Her humidity is around low 60's by morning time and I do another mist then let it dry out during the day and mist more at night. Is she just dehydrated by morning but then why wasnt it happening before. Around 8-9 am her temp is around 70.

geko behavior?

So I have a male about a year and a half, I've heard they do the nipping and squeeking when horn dogging but like, why me? He was fine when I got him out then started chirping and trying to nibble me I sat down with him let him sit and chill out without touching him then he was fine? I'm just confused on why
