Waterfall in day gecko tank

[waste_dwords]

I just bought two giant day geckos . they are still very nervous allthough they are getting more used to their tank and surroundings. I mist the tank 2-3 times a day because I have not seen them go anywhere near the waterfall. it is near a wall so they can reach down and it makes a slight humming noise because of the pump. Does anyone have any advice on the waterfall? I fear they are too nervous to drink or something and it is an expensive waste.

Most geckos are very sensative to vibrations and noises, how ever if you can take the water fall out and get them used to the same sort of sound, then they might get over it. Also, many day geckos will avoid direct water and will drink beads of water off plants and your tank walls. In this sense you really dont need the waterfall as long as you mist the tank. Could you tell us the size of the tank as well as provide some pictures? It would clarify your question much better.
