I see you're misting, that's good - mist often and liberally. I'd also suggest putting some sort of cover on most of the lid to help trap in as much of that moisture as possible between misting sessions.
    Thank you!

    I've only had him a few days and I'm already not happy with the repti-bark. Right now I'm misting 3-4 times a day and most of the top is covered and I am still have humidity issues. I will be switching to cypress mulch soon. Thank you for the tip on the moss, I will have to pick some of that up too.
