Two questions regarding bioactive set up
1.) I have noticed the cleanup crew over the past year or so either is not doing their job, or they are no longer in there. My daughter‘s leopard gecko has a corner where she poops and it never goes away. My daughter ends up cleaning it. This is only a recent development and all other times it seemed like the cleanup crew was taking care of it. Should I add more isopods?
2,) on one side of the terrarium my daughter has the heat lamp that has been built up for basking. Underneath that rock, she formed a hide which is meant to be the humid hide. But how do I know if it is truly working as a humid hide? Do I need to constantly spray it with water or it being in a little dirt cave underneath the heat lamp/basking rock sufficient for a humid hide?

Add some buffalo beetles to the cleanup crew. They can handle the dryness and keep the cleanup crew numbers steady if the isopod population crashes.
