    Get some natural sea sponges, they work well to keep humidity up
    Check out what's available at

    This might be a bit obvious, but keep in mind that if you have an open screen as a lid, you'll want to cover it with something.

    Basically if your humidity is dropping quickly, it means that you have a lot of air getting out. The water doesn't just disappear when it leaves the air, it has to go somewhere.

    Are you misting as in barely dampening the substrate? If so add enough water until its soaked through.

    You should never need to mist a tub
    If your humidity is too low you just use a little bigger water bowl or don't put too many holes on the tub.
    When my snakes go into shed I push the water bowl back over the belly heat to jack up the humidity, works great

    With 60 percent humidity he should have a good shed. I never have to mist my tubs and they have tons of holes in them. But the humidity in my room is around 40 percent anyway, so its not too hard. They should shed fine with the mentioned humidity measurements.
