Two suggestions: Get a book on your new pet. This is the leo bible, but something like this or this is suitable for a new owner and all the needs of his new friend.
Secondly i would stay away from those heavy plastic rock caves. They have a tendency to slip from the hand of the owner and smash their little friend. Try something like this that you might buy food in. They are very light, about the right height, a hole can be cut into them easily, most are dishwasher safe, and it can be thrown away and replaced with another.
Standing water shouldn't be an issue in the enclosure as long as it's regularly cleaned, and you watch out for mold. Using something like these under your substrate will seriously kick up the humidity in there as long as you mist regularly. Cork wood decor also helps hold in humidity, as does moss. A large, shallow water dish helps too. If it stays too dry in there consistently, you might want to reevaluate your lighting.
I hope you and Lizard Bro prosper together.
