    I would mist the hot side of its enclosure pretty heavy and let it be for a bit.

    Nah he should be ok , you might have to do that a couple of times but he should be able to get it off, you can also use a damp warm wash cloth over the area. Be sure the eye caps come off.

    I would then recommend to just spray the hot spot pretty thoroughly and let him be for a while, he should be able to take care of it and the added humidity will keep the caps moist
