I am having to spray the encloser more than two or three times a day to keep the humidity up to where it needs to be (60-70%) and his home is staying very wet. the Tempature is good but I'm just concerned about how damp the encloser is getting. I try to keep the humidity at 65% so when it drops to 50 % I spray it. has any one have any suggestions?

50% reallty isn't so bad, as long as your dragon has a nice deep water bowl to soak in if he so desires. Perhaps a mister with a finer spray pattern would be helpful as well. More like an atomizer. Some of the spray bottles can be adjusted from a stream to a fine spray/mist by screwing in the end of the tip. Using an absorbent substrate, like eco-earth also helps absorb excess moisture and hold in humidity-but unless you cover it with damp green moss or sphaghum moss, your dragon will make a mess by dragging it into his pool and getting it in his eyes.
