So I got 4 geckos over the weekend that need high humidity and so far I haven't been able to keep it high. What's the best way to keep it high? I've been misting a lot. I put a damp towel over the top of one enclosure which worked for a day but it's not good for long term. I also bought a little dripper which I expected to make it like it was raining (pretty sure that's what it said on the website) but it just drips water in one small spot and makes a puddle. I live in minnesota and its like the dryest time of year so that definitely doesn't help

hm... with out spending tons of cash- super low, large water dishes? That way it isn't too deep, but adds moisture, maybe keep it under the dripper to keep the puddle under control?

Coco coir substrate holds moisture really well; that's what I use with the occasional misting. The dripper is more for chameleons, since they will only drink off of leaves. Maybe a repti-fogger would work better, but they are pricey. Or just a plain old humidifier.

It is also very dry in Alaska. I use a room humidifier it works wonderful, keeps my tokays humdidity 60-80% with out spraying. But I still do 3x a day.
