    -Coconut Husk Eco Earth Substrate
    -Sphagnum moss
    -Water bowl closer to warm side
    -Pretty damp towel covering half of lid, with dry towel on top of that
    -Monsoon Misting System - Set on intervals of 1 hour with 8 second mists
    -Keep heating lamp at least 6 inches above lid of terrarium (This maintains my ambient heat around 86 degrees with a 100 watt red bulb)
    -UTH on warm side, with water bowl slightly over to help with evaporation

    I re-damp the towel in the morning before work, and before I go to bed. My humidity never drops below 40 percent. Usually sits around 50 - 60 percent.

    Hope this info helps ya out!
    money isn't an issue,I make a fairly nice living ....i do the exact same,wet the rag right before work and I mist,same when I Get home,re most tank right away and re wet the rag. Yeah I may pic up some Eco earth or coconut husk as well. I'm using aspen now...I'm cleaning my tank fully again in about a week or two,so I will switch up substrate,I also have some new thermostats and hygrometers in the mail today that I want to set up as well.

    thnx bro
