They do like damp and they do like to be hidden. The damp moss box is perfect spot for him.



Glass tank... do you have the top covered with something more solid than screen?



Three factors affect humidity...



Evaporation - larger surface areas of water will equate to more humidity. Includes standing water and damp objects.



Dissipation - once airborne, water molecules tend to spread out as far from each other as space allows. if allowed to leave the enclosure they will.



Condensation - warm damp air coming in contact with a cooler surface will result in water droplets condensing on that surface.





IMO a screen top tank is not optimal for BRB's but can be bandaided to work better. Need to cover most of the top with plastic and also helps to insulate three sides to keep the heat in.





Poor shedding is a symptom of inadequate humidity.
