The plant 'health' is what is holding in the humidity. And I wonder what the temps are at ground level?
I've never known any of my redfoots to climb.. so you may be setting yours up for a fatal fall with that hide configuration! I use slate only to feed mine on [ on cypress mulch only for 6"+ ones ].. but with the "moss" combo you use that really isn't needed. You are better off to keep the substrate 'drier'.. and as you know you will have to work at keeping the humidity up - constant misting of the plants should resolve that issue.
I wonder about [ hard surface ] stones or rocks in a viv. I would think that if they ever were encountered in the wild they would be moss or plant covered.
Within the year [ if I were you ] I would plan on making use of an entire wall of that room to build their permanent 'indoor' enclosure. Typically they grow to 4" the first year.. and within 5 years they could easily reach 7-8" SCL.
These are the "basics" that TerryO has gleaned from.. combined with her green thumb.. to create a perfect environment that has enabled hers to strive and grow. Pio is a prime example - follow his lead
