making him go into humid hide

[lord jackel]

my guy is starting to shed and i've tried to get the humidity up with no luck i can get it to 80 for like 10 mins or so. i made him a humid hide with a plastic container with a hole in the lid filled with damp paper towels. he just doesn't seem to want to go into it. should i just drop him in there and cover the lid for a while? or will he eventually realize he should go in there?

How do you know he is not going in there at night? Anyway mine do the same thing. I put a humidy hide (with wet paper towels too) when they are going to shed just to help and they all use it differenly. Some will go in as soon as I put it in there cage, others not till they are done shedding.

You said you can get it to 80 but what is your normal humidity?
