Hey, I read the previous post about the baby frillies and their shedding problem.

I am first time hobbyist when it comes to these guys so I am still trying to understand them completely. Don't get me wrong; I did a lot of research before I obtained my guy.

Here's where I am at:
Currently, he is having problems shedding. Right now, it is at the point where it seems stuck to his skin. It's almost as if its glued on there. Now, I did not find any information about that, so I am going to consider it abnormal. I have not thought too much about it until now because tonight bumps on his skin appeared. I soaked him in a warm water bath for 15 minutes and then tried to peal some of the shedding skin off of him. I also tried to see what the bumps were and it seems as if its just the dead skin since that pealed away as well. I would have done his entire body, but the skin does not seem to want to give. I am worried about fungal infections at this point if the skin stays since that seems as if it would create a moist environment between the dead skin and his. I try to keep the humidity up, but this is where I have my second problem.
Every time I make an attempt to keep the humidity, it seems to drop to zero by the next day. I mist the tank 2-3 times a day. I have him in one of those fancy exoterra tanks (he has enough room) using the substrate that starts as a block then expands with water (cannot remember the name of it) with a light layer of terrarium moss. But despite that, the humidity always drops. So, any suggestions as to how to keep that up there?
Thanks for your suggestions!
