Thanks for the tips breaker. Sadly, he passed away the next morning.

Essentially, here is my setup:

I had him in an Exoterra tank (one of those fancy ones) with a 60 watt red glass heat bulb with an ESU desert 7% light for UVB. However, I did use the bulb the ESU fixture came with since the box said it was a UVB bulb in the required spectrum. I used EcoEarth substrate with some terrarium moss as a light top layer. I kept a flexible vine that was thicker than him as well as a tree for basking purposes. The basking temp was def upper 90s low 100s as I had checked it several times before.

When he started to not shed properly, I did spray him excessively which might have made it stick to him more. I did pick a little bit at the skin, even though I know I shouldn't have (I did soak him before hand though).

I mean, once I got the humidity fixed, it seems like everything was according to what the majority of people suggested as a setup. I fed him every other day a dozen small crickets (though in retrospect, I think I could have fed him med/lg) dusted with Zoomed's reptivite. Does any of this sound off to you? I am disappointed he went, but it doesn't mean I want to give up on raising these guys in the future. Any suggestions/corrections to my setup?
