    Inside is 65% on top of bedding which is on top of UTH. He is going into shed soon so i sprayed inside and layed a wet towel on top grid and a plastic lid on top of that but what about a more permanent solution?

    Can you please describe the type of enclosure? Tubs work very well at keeping humidity higher along with different style substrates such as cypress mulch and coconut husks.

    Is a terrarium. Glas with a slide door and a grid in one side and grid lid on top. I use cork granules as substrate. I use lucky reptile pro heating pad on one third of the terrarium. Its a constant 36,5 degrees celcius

    In a glass terrarium there really is no permanent solution. Regular misting and towel wetting.

    What about temperature. Is 36,5 ok?

    This. It is difficult to keep up humidity in those types of tanks.

    I like using Eco earth as a substrate with glass enclosures, I have had successful sheds every time, I just make sure to rehydrate the soil before sheds to get the humidity up were it should be. During non shed cycles I maybe rehydrate once a week.

    Unless you feel like cutting lexan or plexiglass and drilling ventilation holes to fit over the screen top.
    It is quick and easy, it looks good.
    And, being so easily machinable you can customize it to fit your exact requirements in only a few minutes after a bit of thought to what you need it to do.

    Edit: If this doesn`t appeal to you damp hides are another cheap and easy option to help with sheds.

    X2 especially the humid hides very effective in glass enclosure.

    36.5ºC No that is too high! You should have 32.2 or so not higher than 34.5 !!

    65%RH is fine. It is much more important to correct you temps!
