I got a male crested gecko today. He's beautiful. He's a little pale, and I'm not sure if that's him getting used to his surroundings or something the pet store did that I bought him from. But I want to get him into eating crested gecko diet and baby food, when all they fed him at the pet store I bought him from was crickets. Is this a bad idea?

Also, his tale goes up a little bit right at the base closest to his body. Is it supposed to?

One more thing (sorry for so many questions.. I don't want to mess this up)..Can someone read this and let me know if his tank's set up okay, please? I have a big piece of bark I bought at the pet store, a few small trees for hiding, a food dish with crested gecko diet & baby food mixed in, a water bowl to help keep the humidity higher, a thermometer and a rock hide. Oh and I have paper towels as a substrate. I put him in the tank, put food in his bowl and misted it with warm water. It was still cool when I did that so I shined a fluorescent lamp over the top of the tank, and now it's at 80 degrees F. Is this all okay, or is there something I need or did I do something wrong? Thanks for the help!
