The water dish and the lamp heat will keep your tank slightly humid but don't spray the enclosure. 50% humidity will do fine. It took about 3 shed cycles for his belly to fully clear up. But he made a full recovery and is eating like a machine. I hope this helps a little and good luck.

I have to ask, is YOUR heat pad regulated with a thermostat?

To the OP, thank you for coming back and keeping us posted. I'm so glad to hear that he is starting to look better. I do believe, that when he does shed, the scabbing will come off, leaving the wounds open again. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't want you freaking out about it when/if it happens.
