From the research I have gathered and noted, Leo's should be provided the opportuntiy to retreat into a moist hide. I have provided several, three to be exact. One in the warm area, one in the middle zone, and another in the cooler end.
My relative humidity in the entire enclosure is 55-60%, while the hides pack a whopping 90-95%. I use cypress bedding throughout the entire enclosure, with sphagnum in the hides and 2" to burrow into in the cooler end, misted daily. My relative enclosure temp is around 75F with a warm area of 85F-90F and a basking of 95F-110F. He gets several daily mists till he drips, and daily soaks. He also has access to fresh drinking water changed multiple times a day.
Back to the question: should I be concerned he is not willing to use his moist hides? Or am I providing enough moisture between misting and soaks? He likes to burrow down about a 1/2" into the cypress at night. I also have him set up in a "nursery", 50(?) gallon rubbermaid container with some holes drilled for decent fresh air flow.
His diet consists of home made "spring mix", everyday, with mushed Mazuri mixed with calcium (no D3) every other feeding. He also gets his "outside time", in his outdoor enclosure for a few hours everyday, where he has access to all sorts of grasses and a huge variety of weeds (and of course sunshine).
