You're not the only one who's uneasy about the new moist soil. I'm mainly concerned with the fact that I don't always have someone to babysit Ra when my fiance and I are gone (vacations, family emergencies, etc.) and I do worry about the soil drying out and caving in on him. (By the way, I haven't lived with my parents for over 2 years now and they are 8 hours from where I am living)
In order to give my uro that comfortable "burrow" feeling, I am in the process of designing a burrow consisting of plastic tubing and either Rubbermaid or Tupperware containers (kind of like a nesting box) which I will bury in deeper substrate, leaving only the end of the tubing uncovered. Hopefully, Ra will see it as a pre-dug den and enjoy it. I won't have to worry about cave-ins or high humidity 
Plus, I can easily dig him out in an emergency.
