    mist the substrate. or, if you have a humidifier, put it near the tank.

    Im assuming its a glass tank, if so mist the sides of the tank but not the substrate.

    I have to mist the cage probablly twice a day when my girl goes into shed. I have the same set up, and misting works pretty well.

    *Edit* Whoops, just read the rest of it and realized you were using newspaper. I can't help you there....I haven't ever used it before. Someone else will chime in here soon I'm guessing that actually reads the whole thing before they post Sorry about that.

    Make sure your water bowl has a large surface area.

    Take the foil off the top temporarily and lay a moist towel on the lid. Worked for me back when I used tanks.

    Make a humid hide.

    You can use a bowl and put sphagnum moss in it and mist it once a day or if you can't get the moss just get a bowl and put some damp paper towels in it on the warm end.
