    He’s in a wooden enclosure with the dimensions of 6x2x2. I use heat bulbs and they make the warm end 90 to 95, and his cool end is 80 to 83. I use a temp gun for temps with an electronic thermometer plus hygrometer coming in on Thursday. His substrate is paper towels, and he has a very large water bowl for him to soak in and it’s counts as a shed rock since it has coarse sides.

    Sliding doors? Closed top or screen? Pics? Temps could come down a bit too. ~80* ~90*.

    High humidity on its own does not cause illness. Often what happens is high humidity + heat can cause mold, which can cause illness, or in an effort to raise humidity the enclosure became too cold because the keeper misted several times daily using 60*F water straight from the tap each time.

    Okay - first your "cool side" temps are too warm. The cool side temps for retics should be about 74-77 F. If the cool end of your cage is constantly over 80 F - you are likely find your retic pushing a lot. Also your basking spot should be a bit cooler as well - retics should have a basking temp no higher than 90-92 F. And their humidity needs to be about 60-75 %, but you can go with humid hides if you want.

    Here is a good video from Reach Out Reptiles on setting up Retics.

    He also has a video on Face pushing in retics as well.
