Leopard geckos need a desert-type setup. If yours is an adult, you can use calci-sand or other desert substrate. For babies, I'd use paper towel or newspaper to avoid impaction. Wood shavings or mulches are NEVER appropriate for leos. It's only a short matter of time before they will lead to impaction or eye injury, plus they don't properly hold heat. You can definitely give him a humid hide to aid shedding, using moss or earth substrate.
Maybe some skink owners could chime in on their care. It's possible you need entirely different substrate for that one as well.
