How to use CHE without drying the enclosure?

[Snagrio]

CHE are going to dry out anything, you can soak bedding, you can spray often, you can add a misting system, room humidifier, block off airflow. Personally I'd skip the effort and look into a pvc enclosure more properly suited to a reptile, with a radiant heat panel. Much better at keeping heat and humidity than an aquarium is going to be.

Having a humidity box helps too.

Like the OP I've been having humidity issues since my banana boy is in a 30 gal setup (will aquire a proper PVC enclosure when he's older) and have utilized a soaking strategy with the coco fiber/spagnum substrate. But just to make absolutely sure there's a spot where he can always get moisture if things get too dry at any point I leave a humidity box in at all times with wet (but not waterlogged) moss inside.

I've already seen him use it several times so it's clear he appreciates the gesture, albeit maybe a little too much as he left a huge dump inside it once and the whole basement subsequently stunk to high heaven.
