Yeah here's a video link on what exactly I do. I've just changed the size of the container I use, become more confident in guessing how much I need to dump to get my desired dampness, and started aiming for a slightly damper bedding right after dumping.

During the summer, when his heat sources aren't working hard, I only have to do this once every 1-2 weeks, and during the summer I do it twice a week to once every other week, depending.

I let his bedding go through cycles, and wait for the bedding to completely dry out before I repeat the process. Doing this, I've completely eliminated any and all vertical stripes (the bent scales you see when they curl up), and made maintaining humidity incredibly easy on myself. At most, he gets some lines under his eyes when the bedding is at its driest.

This method can take some learning to get the dampness level right at first, but basically you want to aim for light fluffy bedding that barely feels wet to the touch. If any water squeezes out and it feels/looks like a swamp, you've got it wrong. That's why I like doing it in portions; if I get it wrong I just mix some dry bedding in until it's the way I want it.
