I got in a new display cage for my boy Maynard, and since I've been having a lot of trouble keeping humidity up because of the heating, I decided to go with something to hold humidity as a substrate and that would look nice since he'll be in a display cage after all.

I went ahead and got a compacted brick of mixed substrate, cypress chunks and coconut husk, but to separate it I had to soak it. Well the problem is it bring the humidity up too high and I get a sort of fog on the plexi door of the tank!

I've been trying desperately to dry out the substrate in the last two days so I can finally get him in there, but I'm not having much luck. Has anybody else got this problem?
