    Question Is this good enough for the humidity?

    I have a 10 gal aquarium for my hatchling and I put a shallow bowl of water for him to soak in under the infrared heat lamp. Is this good enough for the humidity? Should I mist it?

    Do you have a hygrometer? humidity in the cage should be between 40% - 60%

    Ya, you gotta get a hygrometer to know for sure. Lights tend to dry the air out and I would recommend putting the water bowl in the middle of the enclosure. I'm guessing its a screen top aquarium, cover 1/2 or more to help keep humidity up. You gotta get a good temp gauge and hygrometer to know exactly what's going on in there...
