Aww they are so cute!
Do you have a moist hide? Calcium dish? You need those.
I think it would look really cool if you put a background on the 3 sides, but of course that’s totally optional.

I reccomend getting one of these: Link

You need 1 warm hid, 1 cool hide and one humid hide. Making the warm hide humid will nott suffice, you will also need a warm normal humidity hide...

Wait, 60-65 in the whole cage?
The maximum it should EVER go is 50. They are desert animals, and can end up with an RI if left in environments that are not dry enough.

try getting a smaller water bowl, making sure it’s on the cool side, or putting them in a less humid room. If that doesnt work then you will need to get a dehumidifier or use a light for a heat source so it can help dry out the cage.

You can always use a dimmet to turn the heat way down, then use a light to boost the heat to where it needs to be.
