I think this because it does not make a huge wet mess of everything and slowly increasing the humidity rather than spiking it all crazy out of nowhere. This method also keeps the humidity up longer than misting.
Yea I noticed that the brand I used was quite dusty so I think I'm going to keep him on newspaper until I find something more suitable. That sock trick is pretty smart; I think I'll give it a try. The more that I look at him the more I'm thinking that he has shed stuck in his nostril. It looks like there's almost no hole on the right side of his "nose" and the other side looks perfectly normal. Should I just wait for him to shed it out? Thank you to everyone here, It's been really helpful.
