Once it gets started on that plane, it's truly hard to smooth it out again. All you can do is keep it as moist and humid as possible, along with the steady warmth.

Why would it start doing that? Its 40 percent humidity in the mornings and 80+ for the rest of the day. But the humidity keeps going VERY quickly and it is a closed chamber

Perhaps you have some gaps where air is escaping? The humidity in the morning is usually the highest point, before UV bulbs and such turn on. So if it is that low early in the morning then maybe you sprung a leak? What substrate are you using other than the moss?

Right now i am using only coco coir. But i wanted to kbow what 0thrt substratted to use. Im going to the pet store now so pls tell me what i need. I will soon get a peice of plexiglass to fit over the top of the entire tank with a hole for the lights

Moss is fine, but some babies try to eat it. Orchid bark and cypress mulch are two others I use. Coco coir holds plenty of moisture though so it's unlikely that is the issue.
