Joe, you got anyway to increase humidity in the cage he is in now? What I did with mine was turn up the heat a little (UTH) and then I just poured some water directly on the substrate. Not to make it soupy, but enough to make it pretty wet. Then I covered the top of the cage and it took humidity up to 98%. left it that way for a day. Took care of the shed without me even having to touch him. So then I removed the cover off the top and allowed the moisture to evaporate and humidity returned to normal in 2 days, and I cut the heat back to normal. Just got to be careful with the heat level, but the moisture seems to help that.
