    the only time that my tank fogs up like that is after i mist and then cover it back up, and the humidity level usually goes way up for at least the first few hours afterwards, so i only mist when nellie is in shed. i really can't imagine that it is only 60% in your tank if you are doing everything you say and the glass is fogged up. i'd go straight to walmart and get the accurite digital thermometer/hygrometer if i were you. the analog gauges are way off--i have one in my tank along with my accurite, and the analog gauge is consistently 10-15% off or more on the humidity.

    Well I just snapped some more pics. His eyes are back to normal so I guess he is going to shed soon???? He loves this log, he never leaves it.

    As for the humidity it still reads 62% which is the most I've seen it. It is a Springfield Digital temp/humidity gauge. Does anyone know if they are inaccurate? As far as the glass, it is always foggy.. 24/7 except on the side where the heat pad is. Here is how the glass looks

    well it may still be a few days. and about that humidity gauge--it really HAS to be off. with that much water from misting in the tank and all the fog there is no way it's only 62%. it should at least jump up higher for the first hour or so after you mist. try taking it out and blowing on the sensor part--the reading should immediately go up when you do that. if it doesn't you definitely need to replace it.

    give him a day or put him in a big water dish for him to shed easier.
