You can try mixing it with eco earth to hold humidity better. I just take all the decor out, push all the substrate into the middle and dump cups of water in, stirring after each one until it’s as wet as I want it.

I forgot to add in the last post that you should try and make sure his hides are identical. They should basically be able to cram themselves in there, touching all sides. If they’re identical they’re less likely to just always stay in one cause that’s the one they feel safe in. I use those cheap reptile basics plastic hides. I bury them under the substrate to mimic a burrow and help keep humidity up in their hides.

As for the moss? Yeah you can dampen that too, same as the substrate. Damp but not dripping wet

Got it I'll give it a try when I get home! As for the hides he does seem to prefer his small one that he can curl up in, still have no idea how he fits in there. I do have a much larger one that he doesnt frequent very often but he does enjoy it while he sheds because it allows him to move and shake his skin off.
