Is this procedure alright, or could there be problems in the long run?

Hey guys... I just have a quick question for you guys out there that have been keeping retics for way longer than I, which is 95% of you. I was wondering since I moved my 10 1/2 month old, 6' 3", female into a different enclosure (40 wide, i believe) with a screen top (her last enclosure wasnt secure enough, but held humidity well) i've been using a humidity box for her under her heat lamp. (150 watt, infared/on 24/7)I have some moss mixed with CareFresh bedding, they hold the moisture very well. I also have one of those new ZooMed Habba Misters on a schedule of 30 seconds mist, every 6 hours, with the spray nozzle in the top of the humidity box (15 qt Sterilite container)via a hole I cut in the top center. I know this is getting long, but I want to give you guys ALL the info I can. What do you guys think of this? Is it safe? I clean out the humidity box every couple of days, and change the substrate once moldy or soiled. It seemed like a good deal, but I just want to get all of your feedback on it. Any advice/feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Raymond

Yea or Nea?

I read your post yesterday and thought about it a while and determined that it is something one would have to see and that I couldn't really answer acurately. It sounds like it may be okay if you change the internal bedding frequently, but other than that I couldn't call it unless I saw it firsthand.
