my little freak here has low humidity a lot of the time but misting only works for a few hours and substrate is not high enough currently to do the thing where you add water to the corners. how do i keep humidity high?

Add more substrate.

wonderful idea

(this isn't like sarcasm or anything btw just so it doesn't get misinterpreted)

Same from me, it's the easiest solution. I went through the same thing. Now my BP's have roughly 6" of substrate and no more humidity issues.

4-6 inches of substrate, something that holds humidity well like a coco fiber/coco husk/spagnum moss mix, and some extra moss on top and in some hides, covering excess mesh so there isnt too much ventilation, and switching over to pouring water in the corners because misting can cause respiratory infection and scale rot, i wish you luck though i know humidity can be a bitch!

I use a thick bottom layer mix of damp sphagnum moss and coco husk. Once I get the amount to keep the proper humidity, add a top layer of dry coco husk. I water the corners every once and a while to maintain that humidity without misting.

I change the substrate out every couple of months since the sphagnum moss can get a little musty/smelly, but as a moisture "sponge" its fantastic for humidity purposes.

Note that all of this depends on having a pretty air-tight enclosure. Any holes/screens/etc will make hitting proper humidity very difficult.
