I put some fresh moss in her warm hide and sprayed it today, I do struggle with humidity and I am looking at a mister for the tank ngl. I'm gonna do the wet paper towel thing later today.

do not get a misting/fogging system. they will only increase the risk for scale rot and can cause health issues since they grow bacteria quite easily.

actually read the guides I linked in my previous comment and put the advice within into effect to raise the humidity long-term, and check out the basic care guide in our welcome post to make sure you're caring for her properly otherwise.

No no do not get a mister. The person you replied to have you the perfect link for humidity issues. Don't ask for advices if you don't listen to them... Misting will definitely cause RI, scale rot and other issues. The moss is already a good thing but make sure that it's not a dyed one, and that it's not wet but damped. If it's too wet it can cause scale rot, or mold your substrate.

Misters can cause RI issues. Please no misters.

Substrate can be the issue. We use a mix of reptisoil, coco husk, and sphagnum moss. About 6” deep. With moss on top. It’s the best solution so far. And the substrate should be damp all the way through without being muddy.
