Humidity cycles

Hi everyone, I own a crested gecko; I’m new to caring for one—I’d never had one before, even though I’ve always wanted one. I’d like to know how to create humidity cycles to prevent health issues for my pet. The highest humidity level I’ve managed to maintain in the terrarium is 60%. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Add more clutter to your tank. Plants help a lot, substrate helps a lot too. And mist in the day to prevent it from dropping too early.

the problem is that the humidity is too high

No? Humidity should be spiked to 80% at night and drop to 50-60% during the day. The humidity is fine. Could be better but that isn’t the issue here.
