What is the humidity level of your room?

Re: Can't Get Humidity Right!
What I do is put a bowl of damp spaghum moss in each tub. I check them every other day or so to make sure the moss is still damp - this works great. When they are going into shed - you can boost it even further by making the moss wetter or putting it in a larger bowl.
Works great good for me. Mine always have one piece sheds.

What are you using to measure your humidity? 49% shouldn't cause mold growth

I suggest getting a spare. I've owned 3 and they all measured different humidities. There was a 5-10% off with one.

Re: Can't Get Humidity Right!
To control the humidity I change the position of my water bowl. To increase humidity, place the water bowl on the warm side. What is the diameter of your water bowl? You could also use a humidifier in your room.

How old are the batteries in your Accurite? Have you changed them since you purchased it? The reason I ask is that I've experienced bad humidity readings with low batteries. As a matter of fact, that was one of the reasons I switched to Western Digital hygrometers.
Also, Accurites, as much as we love them, are not the most well made precision measuring device. You get what you pay for, and there is a chance your's is not reading correctly. Have you checked it against another hygrometer in the same tub? I agree with Aaron, 49% shouldn't be causing humidity issues.
