Hello!
Looks fine to me. Did you hand-packed it? This helps to retain moisture and prevents mess. In fact, hygrometer should tell you if you need it more dry or damp.

He needs a larger water dish by the way - 1.5-2 times more then he is. Terracotta saucers from a gardening store (underpot plates) - are great and cheap option.
