If you give him the moist hide that should be fine. He should have a choice of humidity levels in his habitat; so if the main cage is dry but he can go into his moist hide, that should be enough. Gently introduce him to the hide and then leave him be for a few days at least. Too much handling when a small animal is unwell can cause further injury due to stress.

I don't know what is causing the concave lower belly thing. He may have a blockage further up the gut, or parasites. If you can take him to a veterinarian, even one that is not that knowledgeable about reptiles but who can at least do a fecal exam, that would be useful.
