I too agree, if you have to soak the monitor, something is wrong.

ALso if you have to water the cage three times a week, something is wrong.

In most cases, its because of large venting and the heat source, a long way from the surface to be heated. In this case, its heats lots of air.

In that case, actual humidity is does not matter, its the heated air thats raising and causing deydration. The cure is a smaller heat source, closer to the surface to be heated.

The key here is the result, a land monitor soaking tells you its dehydrated and having to water the cage so often.

About mold, that is a sign of to much humidity. So what your looking at is humidity just below the level of what it takes to grow mold. Good luck
