Too hot!



Most people use UTH or Under Tank Heaters, there are a couple of brands you can find at any pet store. They are used for all reptiles and snakes and the size is based on the size of the enclosure you are using. Usually you want 1/4-1/3 of the surface area of the bottom to be covered.



90F would be way too hot for a night time temp for even a leopard gecko, I would worry more about that then the humidity.



Have you considered buying a good care book? Tremper's book is good and would tell you all about this stuff.



BTW I think you mean "hear" not "here", I don't know how to "here" a gecko unless you taught them to "heel" -> which would be cool.
